Check dataset geography support before querying
Confirm that a dataset supports your intended geography before you spend time assembling a data request.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Dataset Geography JSON
Lists supported geography levels and requirements for a Census dataset.
Why this helps
A carefully prepared Census query can fail when its dataset does not support the geography you need.
- Inspect supported geography levels for a dataset.
- Review hierarchy and required query predicates.
- Catch a geography mismatch before requesting estimates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agenty and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve supported geographies for the supplied dataset and year, then check whether the requested geography is supported.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one dataset and geography you plan to query.
Questions about this workflow
What should I include?
Provide the dataset, year, and intended geography level so Notis can check support and required predicates.
Does this return geography statistics?
No. It reports which geographies are available and their query requirements. Use a data action for statistics.
