Turn a prospect location into Census geography codes
When a campaign research request includes a street address, get the Census geography identifiers needed to make the next research step more precise.
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 location is hard to use in demographic research until it is tied to the right Census geography.
- Resolve a supplied address to Census geography identifiers.
- Return coordinates and geography codes in one lookup.
- Use tract and county identifiers to guide follow-on research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveCampaign and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then choose a name and report channel.
- 3Tell Notis to geocode the address in each request and return the Census geography identifiers for review.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and send it an address from your research process.
- 5Test with one real address and review the returned geography codes.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the webhook request include?
Include a complete street address. The geocoder returns coordinates and Census geography identifiers such as state, county, tract, block group, and block FIPS codes.
Does this retrieve demographic statistics too?
No. This action identifies the geography. A separate automation can use those identifiers with a Census data retrieval action.
Does the lookup change an ActiveCampaign contact?
No. It returns geography information in the Notis run report.
