Find relevant Census table groups before a data pull
Give Notis a dataset, vintage, and question to locate table groups worth reviewing before you query variables.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Dataset Groups

Why this helps
Choosing a table can be a hidden research task that delays the actual analysis and increases the chance of missing relevant measures.
- Retrieve table groups for the specified dataset and vintage.
- Narrow the list to groups related to your stated research question.
- Prepare for a follow-up query using selected variables or a table group.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Anthropic administrator and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for table discovery.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve table groups for the requested dataset and vintage and identify groups relevant to your question.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one dataset and research question and inspect the suggested groups.
Questions about this workflow
Does the action return every variable in a table?
It retrieves table groups. Use the dataset variables action or a data retrieval action when you need variable details or values.
Can Notis choose a table without my question?
A research question helps Notis explain which groups may be relevant. The match should be treated as guidance for your review.
