Find the Census geography for an address
Send an address for a quick check and get back the Census geography details needed for location research.
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 location address is easy to mistype, and finding its tract or county codes takes extra lookup steps.
- Check address quality before using it for geographic research.
- Return coordinates alongside Census geography identifiers.
- Reduce manual address and geography lookups.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addressfinder and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to verify the submitted address with Addressfinder, then return its coordinates and Census geography identifiers using Census bureau.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real address and review the result.
