Notis

Refresh tract and block group planning data

Keep planning context current for the exact small-area geographies in your Adrapid export.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Planning Database Data

Retrieve planning data on population, demographics, and Census operations.

Why this helps

Small-area planning data is tedious to refresh when every run starts from scratch.

  • Use tract and block group planning data
  • Refresh supplied areas on a cadence
  • Highlight returned population and operational indicators

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adrapid and Census bureau once.
  • 2Create an automation and specify that each run receives tract or block group geographies from Adrapid.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve Planning Database data and summarize relevant indicators.
  • 4Pick a cron schedule, report channel, and test with one export.

Questions about this workflow

Does it discover target tracts automatically?

No. The Adrapid payload must provide the requested geographies.
