Bring recent annual Census estimates into the review of a parsed document location.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get ACS 1-Year Estimates
Retrieves the latest one-year American Community Survey estimates for a geographic area.
Why this helps
Finding current demographic context for a location extracted from a document requires multiple manual lookups.
- Start from an address extracted by Affinda.
- Retrieve ACS 1-year estimates when the selected area is supported.
- Make the requested geography and available data explicit in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to geocode the parsed address and retrieve specified ACS 1-year estimates for a supported geography.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real parse and confirm the geographic level and measures.
Questions about this workflow
Will this work for every geographic area?
ACS 1-year estimates are available only for supported geographies. Notis should report when the requested area or data is unavailable.
Which measures should I request?
Name the ACS variables or measures you want. If you do not know them, use the Census variable discovery actions separately before setting the workflow instruction.
