- Run a recurring retrieval for the selected geography and variables.
- Use one-year estimates when recent annual ACS data fits the area.
- Get a consistent summary ready for the next planning review.

- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve and summarize the chosen area's ACS one-year estimates and variables.
- 4Choose the recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real geography and confirm the year and measures requested.
Questions about this workflow
When should I use one-year estimates?
Use the action when you need the most recent annual ACS data for a given area. Availability depends on the selected geography and dataset.
Can the schedule guarantee a new data vintage each time?
The automation runs on the schedule you choose, but the available ACS year depends on Census bureau's published data and the year specified in the request.
