Check the examples for a dataset before deciding how to ask for its data.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Dataset Examples HTML
Retrieves example queries for a Census dataset in HTML.
Why this helps
Census queries can fail when the dataset, geography hierarchy, or required predicates are unclear.
- Inspect example query structures for a selected dataset.
- See sample geographic levels and hierarchy context.
- Reduce avoidable errors in the next Census data request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Census bureau once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or by telling Notis the outcome you want.
- 3Ask Notis to retrieve and summarize example query patterns for the named Census dataset and vintage.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger, select where run reports go, and test with one real dataset.
Questions about this workflow
Do the examples return the data I need?
They show query patterns and sample structure. Use a data retrieval action separately for the actual statistics.
What should I include in the request?
Provide the dataset and vintage when known. If either is unclear, ask Notis to identify available options first.
