Find the Census geography behind a weather location
Move from a weather planning address to usable Census geography codes in one run.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Geocode Address for Census Geographies
Returns coordinates and Census geography identifiers for an address.
Why this helps
A city name or street address in a weather update may not be precise enough for a Census data lookup.
- Convert a supplied address into Census geography identifiers.
- Reduce the extra lookup needed before demographic analysis.
- Keep the location and returned geography codes together in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and describe the location lookup.
- 3Tell Notis to use the address supplied with the weather-related request and return Census geography identifiers.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real address associated with an AccuWeather location.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the workflow?
An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts the run. AccuWeather does not provide a trigger event here, so the request must supply the address to geocode.
Does this action return demographic estimates?
No. It returns Census geography identifiers for an address. Use those identifiers in a separate Census data lookup when you need estimates.
