Notis

Get population context for any parsed location

When a brief asks whether a place is growing, give Notis the geography and question so it can retrieve the relevant Census population estimates.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Get Population Estimates

Retrieves population estimates and related demographic or population-change data.

Why this helps

Population questions often require repeated searches across datasets and vintages before the team can make a decision.

  • Retrieve population estimates for a specified geography.
  • Keep the selected vintage and dataset explicit in the report.
  • Turn an extracted location into a usable research starting point.

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.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the parsed geography and requested vintage or dataset to retrieve population estimates and state the coverage in its summary.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real location request and a supported Census dataset.

Questions about this workflow

Does this automatically calculate population growth?

It retrieves population estimates. For a growth comparison, specify the periods or values to compare and have Notis explain the difference.

What if the request omits a year or dataset?

The instruction should ask Notis to identify the missing choice and report the available options rather than assume a vintage.
