Add county business statistics to your planning documents

Request county-level establishment and employment data for an industry, then get a short summary for your document workflow.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get County Business Patterns

Retrieves county-level business establishment and employment statistics for a year.

Why this helps

Planning documents can stall when county and industry business statistics have to be gathered and interpreted manually.

  • Retrieves county-level business pattern statistics for a specified year.
  • Keeps industry and geography explicit in the request.
  • Prepares a concise summary for a planning document.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect ActiveMerge and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve County Business Patterns for the requested year, county, and industry, then summarize the returned establishment and employment data.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and arrange for the request to be sent when a business profile is needed.
  • 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real county and industry.

Questions about this workflow

What information should the request include?

Include the year, county geography, and industry details needed for the profile. If any are missing, have Notis ask for them.

Can it infer local business growth over time?

Only when comparable years are requested and returned. The workflow should not claim a trend from a single year's data.
