Assess a candidate location with Census data
Turn a location question into a concise assessment draft with the requested statistics and open questions in view.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Expansion decisions involve many local details, and it is easy to lose track of which evidence supports each location.
- Keeps each location assessment tied to a specific request.
- Surfaces available statistics and missing evidence separately.
- Creates a draft to support a deliberate decision.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt specifying the candidate geography and measures for the assessment.
- 3Pick a webhook trigger and choose where Notis should send run reports.
- 4Test with one real location request and review the draft for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Does this make the expansion decision?
No. It prepares a statistics-based assessment draft. You provide business requirements and make the decision.
Can it compare multiple locations?
Yes, when the request names the locations and Census returns comparable measures for each.
Will it fill gaps in the data?
No. Ask it to identify missing information so you can gather it separately.
