Start a business survey lookup from parsed documents
Let parsed business documents kick off a focused Census business survey lookup.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get American Business Survey
Why this helps
Relevant company or industry context in documents often gets separated from the research needed to assess it.
- Use information extracted from a document as research context.
- Retrieve ABS data for a specified year and endpoint.
- Report which query details were supplied and which still need your input.
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 use the parsed document context to query the American Business Survey for your specified year and endpoint.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one document and confirm the query context and result.
Questions about this workflow
Does the parse automatically identify a valid ABS endpoint?
The action requires a specified year and endpoint. Provide them in your instruction or have Notis flag missing details.
Can the result be treated as data about the company in the document?
The listed action retrieves survey data. Notis should summarize the result carefully and distinguish survey context from company-specific facts.
