Know what a Census variable means before using it
Verify the Census variable behind your market question before requesting data for a prospect territory.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Variable Details
Retrieves metadata and valid values for a dataset variable.
Why this helps
Choosing a variable by its code alone can lead to a report that answers the wrong market question.
- Retrieve a variable's label, concept, and data type.
- Check attribute codes and valid-value constraints.
- Reduce ambiguity before running a market data query.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Aeroleads and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve details for the supplied variable, dataset, and year, then explain whether it fits the research question.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Census variable.
Questions about this workflow
Does this retrieve the estimate itself?
No. It retrieves variable metadata. Use an estimate or data query action to retrieve values.
What information should I send?
Provide the variable and the dataset year context required to identify its details.
