Trigger

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 research plan can stall when the selected Census dataset does not support the geography you need.
- Find supported geography levels before attempting a data pull.
- Reduce wasted analysis on incompatible dataset and geography combinations.
- Receive a concise coverage report to guide the next research step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ahrefs and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to use the Ahrefs research context and dataset details in the request to check supported Census geographies and summarize coverage.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by sending one real HTTP request with the dataset and geography question.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to its Notis webhook starts the automation. Ahrefs has no trigger events in this package.
Does it retrieve demographic estimates?
No. This action checks which geographic levels a dataset supports. Use a data retrieval action when you are ready to query estimates.
What should the request include?
Include the Census dataset and vintage to check, plus the target geography or research question. Notis can report when details are missing.
