Why this helps
When a founder needs a quick local snapshot, assembling the latest annual statistics can interrupt higher-priority work.
- Provides recent annual estimates for a specified geography.
- Turns returned statistics into a concise summary.
- Makes an on-demand snapshot easy to request from a document process.
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 one-year ACS estimates for the requested geography and summarize only the returned figures.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and arrange for the request to be sent when a snapshot is needed.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real geography.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use one-year instead of five-year estimates?
Use one-year estimates when the latest annual data is appropriate for the geography and request. For more detailed geographic coverage, consider the five-year ACS action.
Will this workflow fill in missing statistics?
No. It should report only the figures returned by Census and identify any unavailable values.
