Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Dataset Examples JSON
Retrieves example query patterns for a Census dataset and year.
Why this helps
A research brief can name a Census dataset without showing how to structure a valid API query.
- Connect a dataset identified in web research to concrete query examples.
- Review available geography levels and example variables.
- Reduce guesswork when shaping a data request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AgentQL and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for Census query discovery.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: inspect the supplied research for the Census dataset and vintage, then retrieve its JSON query examples and explain relevant query patterns.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one dataset and vintage you can verify.
