Keep population updates moving each week
Put recurring population research into a draft your team can scan and discuss.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Recurring research often slips when someone has to remember to pull the numbers and write the update.
- Runs on a recurring schedule you choose.
- Presents the requested population measures in an email draft.
- Leaves review and sending in your hands.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation prompt that describes the recurring population update.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 4Test with one real example and review the Gmail draft.
Questions about this workflow
Can it compare this week with last week?
Only if the Census request returns comparable periods or you supply the baseline. The automation cannot assume historical data that was not returned.
Will it email the team on schedule?
It creates a draft. Review and send it from Gmail.
Can I change the cadence?
Choose the recurring schedule when you pick the trigger in Notis.
