Know which Census area an address belongs to
Send an address for geocoding and get coordinates plus Census geography identifiers ready for a document or report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Geocode Address with Geography
Returns an address’s coordinates and Census geography identifiers.
Why this helps
A street address alone may not tell you which county, tract, or block a report should describe.
- Returns coordinates and Census geography information together.
- Helps ground location-based document content in a defined area.
- Avoids manually looking up geography codes.
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 geocode the address in each request and return the coordinates and Census geography identifiers for document preparation.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and arrange for the address request to be sent when needed.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real address.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow generate or merge the document?
No. The Census action geocodes the address and returns geography information. Use the returned details in your document workflow.
What should the request contain?
Provide a single address to geocode. If the address is incomplete, ask for the missing parts before relying on the result.
