Add population estimates to document location research
Bring Census population context into the same workflow that extracts addresses from your documents.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Population Estimates
Retrieves population estimates and related demographic or population-change data.
Why this helps
Population lookups require a separate research step after document extraction, making location analysis easy to postpone.
- Turn a parsed address into a Census geography for a population query.
- Retrieve estimates for the vintage and dataset you specify.
- Make the selected area and data period easy to check.
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 resolve the parsed address and retrieve population estimates for your specified vintage, dataset, and geography.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real address and verify the period and geographic area.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose a vintage automatically?
Name the vintage and dataset you need. The workflow should flag missing choices instead of assuming them.
What if the address does not resolve?
Have Notis report the unresolved address and request corrected details before trying again.
