Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

- Connects map locations to demographic research workflows.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Addresszen and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Coordinates to Census Geographies.
- 3Tell Notis to reverse geocode each submitted latitude and longitude into associated Census geographic areas.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real coordinate pair.
