- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for topic discovery.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: inspect the supplied research question and dataset references, then retrieve Census dataset tags for the specified dataset and vintage.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one market question and check whether the returned tags match the intended topic.
