Why this helps

Founders often have a campaign idea but lack quick, credible context on the businesses in the market they want to reach.

  • Retrieve American Business Survey data for a specified year and endpoint.
  • Keep the campaign question and research result together in one run report.
  • Surface missing year, endpoint, or geography details before drawing conclusions.

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 Business Landscape Report.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the supplied campaign question, geography, year, and ABS endpoint to retrieve relevant American Business Survey data and summarize it for planning.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real campaign research brief that includes the required query context.

Questions about this workflow

What information should the webhook provide?

Include a campaign research question and the year, endpoint, and geography needed for the intended American Business Survey query.

Will this workflow decide which business audience to target?

It can summarize retrieved data for planning, but the campaign objective and decision criteria should come from you.
