Why this helps
A new market view can signal a research need, but gathering comparable demographic data often slips into a separate manual task.
- Use a new Airtable view as a cue to prepare a demographic profile.
- Request detailed ACS estimates for named variables and geographies.
- Get results in a report that keeps the research request in context.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the market profile.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which year, variables, and geographies to use for the ACS five-year estimates.
- 4Pick Airtable View Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by creating one real view and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
What does the ACS five-year action provide?
It retrieves five-year American Community Survey estimates for the specified year, variables, and geography.
Does creating a view tell Notis the geography and variables?
No. State the geography and variables in the automation instruction. The event only indicates that a view was created.
Can it compare the profile with another period?
A comparison requires the relevant years or a baseline to be specified and available. Notis cannot assume data that was not requested or provided.
