Turn a campaign address into Census geography identifiers
Send a location from your campaign research and get its coordinates and Census geography codes in one run report.
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 street address is not always enough to run a precise Census query, and looking up its geography manually adds another context switch.
- Convert a supplied address into geographic coordinates and Census geography identifiers.
- Get state, county, tract, block group, and block FIPS codes when returned by the geocoder.
- Use a more precise geography as input for separate demographic research.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it Campaign Address Census Area Check.
- 3Tell Notis to geocode the address supplied with a campaign brief and summarize the returned coordinates and Census geography identifiers.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real campaign address.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow return demographic statistics too?
No. It returns geocoding results and Census geography identifiers. Use those identifiers as context for a separate Census data query.
What if the address is incomplete?
The run report should state that the geocoder did not return a usable result and identify the missing or ambiguous address details when available.
