- 5Test with one real request that includes a geography, year, and variables.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the webhook request include?
Provide the desired geography, year, and ACS variables. The action retrieves 5-year estimates for a specified year.
Does this choose variables automatically?
No. Include the variables you need in the request, or ask Notis to help identify them using Census metadata before retrieving estimates.
