Why this helps
Investor updates can lack fresh market context when demographic research is left until the writing deadline.
- Prepare market context before update-writing time.
- Keep data period and geography visible in the brief.
- Reuse a consistent set of indicators across updates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and Census Bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which market and ACS indicators to retrieve and to draft a brief that identifies the data period.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real market and review the summary before using it in an investor update.
Questions about this workflow
Will the workflow write the entire investor update?
This workflow retrieves and summarizes ACS estimates for demographic context. Other update content must come from your own sources.
Can it compare against the prior update?
Only if you provide a prior baseline or the requested results include comparable historical figures. The workflow should state when a baseline is missing.
