Find out whether your dataset supports the area you want and what geography predicates a query needs.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Dataset Geography JSON
Lists supported geography levels and requirements for a Census dataset.
Why this helps
Query attempts fail or stall when the selected dataset does not support the intended geography or needs additional predicates.
- Discover supported geographic levels for a dataset.
- See hierarchy and required predicates that shape a valid request.
- Catch geography mismatches before building the data query.

- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one dataset and a geography level you plan to query.
Questions about this workflow
