Make Population Estimate Reviews Routine

Keep the places you monitor in one instruction and receive a recurring summary of the requested Population Estimates Program data.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Population Estimates

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

Why this helps

Population estimates can be useful for planning, but repeated lookups are easy to postpone when there is no reminder to revisit them.

  • Review configured geographies on a recurring schedule.
  • Keep the requested vintage and dataset explicit.
  • Receive a consistent summary for planning discussions.

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 population estimate review.
  • 3Tell Notis which geographies, vintage, and dataset to use and how to summarize the returned estimates.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real geography and review the report.

Questions about this workflow

What should remain fixed in the instruction?

List the geographies, vintage, and dataset you want each run to use.

Will every run include newer estimates?

Not necessarily. The data available depends on the requested vintage and dataset.
