Why this helps
A founder may remember to revisit market data only when a decision is already waiting on an updated population snapshot.
- Refresh the same configured geography on a recurring schedule.
- Review the latest available annual ACS estimates in a concise report.
- Avoid relying on a stale market snapshot.
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 name the recurring market snapshot.
- 3Tell Notis which geography to check and to summarize the latest available ACS 1-year estimates.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real geography before relying on scheduled reports.
Questions about this workflow
Does each schedule run guarantee new data?
No. The action retrieves the latest available annual estimates, which may not change with every scheduled run.
Can this check multiple locations?
Include the geographies you want in the automation instruction and ask Notis to report on each.
