Send client-ready Census findings
Turn a specific client request into a Census-backed email report without redoing the research by hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Client requests for local statistics can trigger a scramble to research, summarize, and send findings before the next meeting.
- Responds to a specific incoming report request.
- Sends the result to the recipient provided for that request.
- Keeps geography and measures tied to the original request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt describing the client report and how to address its recipient.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 4Test with one real request and verify the recipient and email content.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook provide the recipient?
The request needs to include the recipient address and the report details, or you must provide them in the prompt context.
Can it send without review?
Yes, this workflow uses Gmail Send Email. Test with a real example and verify the recipient and content before relying on it.
What happens if a requested statistic is unavailable?
The report should identify missing data rather than invent a value. Include that instruction in the automation prompt.
