Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Decennial Census Data

Retrieves decennial census statistics on population, demographics, or housing.

Why this helps

Teams can lose time locating the right decennial dataset and vintage for a straightforward geography question.

  • Retrieve decennial variables for a specified geography.
  • Keep the vintage and dataset visible in the report.
  • Create a reusable baseline for place-based research.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airparser and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Ask Notis to extract the geography, decennial vintage, dataset, and variables from the request, retrieve the data, and label any missing inputs.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with a real request that names a supported geography and dataset.

Questions about this workflow

Can it compare two decennial vintages?

It can retrieve data for a specified vintage. Include both vintages and the comparison question in the request if a comparison is needed.

What happens if the dataset is unclear?

The workflow should surface that ambiguity and ask for the dataset rather than imply a specific choice.
