Find Census areas for a set of market coordinates

Turn coordinates you already have into Census geography context for a more useful location review.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Geocode Coordinates

Finds Census geographic areas associated with coordinates.

Why this helps

Coordinates are difficult to use in demographic research until they are connected to Census-defined areas.

  • Translate supplied coordinates into Census geography identifiers.
  • Use returned geographies to scope later Census queries.
  • Keep the location request simple when an address is unavailable.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect AimTell and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for coordinate lookup.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to reverse geocode the latitude and longitude in each request and summarize the returned geography levels.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real coordinate pair and confirm the location is the intended market.

Questions about this workflow

Can I send subscriber coordinates from AimTell?

This workflow is intended for market research coordinates you provide. The Census action returns geographic areas, not campaign analytics.

What does reverse geocoding identify?

The action returns associated Census geographies such as states, counties, tracts, blocks, congressional districts, and other supported boundaries.
