Why this helps

- Keep geography and requested measures explicit.
- Get a concise result summary for planning.

- 3Tell Notis to retrieve the requested decennial Census variables for the supplied vintage, dataset, and geography.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real geography and verify the vintage and dataset support your variables.
Questions about this workflow
Can I ask for any year?
Specify a supported decennial vintage and dataset. Availability depends on the Census API resources.
Can Notis identify variable codes?
You can ask it to identify candidate variables, but the request should confirm the intended measures when labels are ambiguous.
