Why this helps
Market research requests can get buried between chat, data lookup, and note taking, leaving founders to repeat the same geography research by hand.
- Collect detailed ACS estimates for a requested area.
- Summarize retrieved data into a readable profile.
- Keep the request and run report together in one workflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the request sent to its webhook to retrieve and summarize ACS 5-year estimates for the specified geography and year.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real test request through your Ably-connected client and review the result.
Questions about this workflow
Does Ably provide the trigger for this automation?
No Ably trigger event is available here. The automation starts when a request reaches its Notis webhook; an existing Ably-connected client or workflow can send that request.
What details should the request include?
Include the geography, year, and the variables or topics you want summarized. If the request omits a required detail, have Notis report what is missing.
