Screen candidate sites with comparable demographic context
Turn a parsed shortlist into an initial demographic comparison, with the requested places and measures kept together for review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get ACS 5-Year Estimates
Retrieves five-year American Community Survey estimates for geographic areas.
Why this helps
Comparing candidate locations is cumbersome when each place requires a separate research pass.
- Summarize supplied candidate geographies using ACS 5-year data.
- Keep comparisons tied to requested measures and geography levels.
- Create an initial screen for a deeper site review.
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 candidate geographies and comparison measures, retrieve ACS 5-year estimates at a comparable level, and flag any unavailable or non-comparable results.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real shortlist and a small set of measures.
Questions about this workflow
Does this rank the best site?
It provides demographic context for comparison. The workflow should not claim a best site without the user's decision criteria and other relevant evidence.
Can areas at different geography levels be compared directly?
The workflow should flag differing geography levels and avoid treating unlike areas as a direct comparison.
