Share requested Census evidence in project status
When a project needs a fresh data point, send the request and put the result where the team sees project progress.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Project Status Update
Tool to create a new status update on a project. use when you need to communicate the current status, progress, or any blockers related to a specific project.
Why this helps
A team can wait on a data point while the request, lookup, and project update happen in separate steps.
- Start a lookup from an external request.
- Put the resulting evidence in the project status feed.
- Keep the request's scope visible in the summary.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe how the incoming request identifies the geography and measures, then ask Notis to summarize them in a project status update.
- 4Choose a webhook as the trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request and confirm the update reaches the intended project.
Questions about this workflow
Can a webhook supply different geographies each time?
Yes, when the incoming request includes the geography and measure details needed by your instruction.
Will the status say whether the data supports the project?
It can explain the figures against criteria you provide. Without project goals or interpretation rules, it should stick to a factual summary.
