See how a market profile changes over time
When you need to know what changed in a market, send Notis the dataset, geography, and characteristics to compare. It retrieves supported ACS Comparison Profiles and summarizes the trend.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Query ACS Comparison Profiles
Retrieve ACS profiles to compare demographic, social, economic, or housing data over time.
Why this helps
Historical comparisons are easy to miss when a deal review relies on a single current snapshot rather than consistent time-period data.
- Compare supported demographic, social, economic, or housing characteristics across time periods.
- Use one consistent comparison request for recurring deal questions.
- Get a short trend summary with the requested characteristics and scope.
