Notis

Set a Census benchmark for a target market

Use decennial Census data as a clear benchmark when reviewing a target market or service area.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Decennial Census Data

Retrieves decennial census statistics on population, demographics, or housing.

Why this helps

Market comparisons lose context when teams mix estimates and counts without a clear reference dataset.

  • Retrieve decennial Census variables for a defined geography.
  • Keep the vintage and dataset explicit in the report.
  • Provide a benchmark that can be compared with other research.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AgencyZoom and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve the requested decennial Census variables for the geography, vintage, and dataset provided, and label the results with their scope.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real geography and review the selected vintage and variables.

Questions about this workflow

Can it compare several geographies?

The request can specify the geographies supported by the selected dataset. Confirm the returned areas and variables before comparing.

How is this different from ACS estimates?

This action retrieves decennial Census data for a specified vintage and dataset. ACS actions retrieve survey estimates.
