Get Population Estimates for a Defined Geography

Send a geography request with the needed vintage and dataset, then receive a short summary of the returned population estimates.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Population Estimates

Retrieves population estimates and related demographic or population-change data.

Why this helps

Population research often gets delayed by switching between Census datasets and manually assembling figures for a specific place.

  • Retrieve PEP data for a specified vintage and dataset.
  • Summarize population or demographic estimates for the requested area.
  • Reduce repeat lookup and report-writing work.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve Population Estimates Program data for the requested vintage and dataset and summarize the figures for the specified geography.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real geography request and confirm the vintage and dataset.

Questions about this workflow

What details does the action need?

Specify the vintage and dataset. Include the geography so Notis can summarize the result for the intended area.

Are these projections?

The action retrieves Population Estimates Program data. The workflow should describe the returned figures as estimates and avoid adding unsupported projections.
