Know which geographies a dataset supports

Get a recurring reference to the geography levels and required predicates for the Census dataset your work depends on.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Dataset Geography JSON

Lists supported geography levels and requirements for a Census dataset.

Why this helps

Data requests get delayed when teams discover too late that a dataset does not support the geography they need.

  • Discover supported geography levels for a dataset.
  • Review hierarchy and required query predicates.
  • Reduce invalid geography requests during planning.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ai ml api and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and provide a name and prompt.
  • 3In one instruction, specify the dataset and year and ask for supported geographies, hierarchy, and required predicates.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real dataset and confirm the returned geography options match the planned query.

Questions about this workflow

Why check geography support first?

The action lists supported geography levels and required predicates, which helps determine how to structure a valid query.

Does it return demographic data?

No. It discovers geography support for a dataset. Use a data retrieval action for the actual estimates or counts.
