Keep a recurring population watch up to date
Refresh population estimates on a schedule so your team sees updated context without remembering to rerun each lookup.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Population Estimates
Retrieves population estimates and related demographic or population-change data.
Why this helps
Recurring research gets dropped when someone has to remember which areas need a fresh Census check.
- Refresh estimates on a recurring schedule.
- Report which geographies were reviewed and the dataset vintage used.
- Keep recurring research out of manual reminder queues.
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 latest parsed geography list, retrieve the specified population estimates, and report the vintage and any missing data.
- 4Pick a recurring Notis cron trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real parsed geography list.
Questions about this workflow
Does the schedule itself contain the geography list?
No. The workflow needs an Airparser-parsed source with the geographies, or another clearly available input, to know what to refresh.
Will each run use a newer vintage?
Not necessarily. Have the instruction identify the intended dataset and report the vintage actually used.
