Make time to act on Census population data
When a Census report is requested, put a review session on the calendar so the findings do not disappear into another tab.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Population data requests can create useful findings that never get a dedicated moment for review.
- Reserve time to interpret newly requested Census statistics.
- Keep data review and follow-up decisions together on the calendar.
- Reduce the chance that a report request gets lost among other work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to schedule a focused session to review the requested Census population findings and identify next steps.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Census data request and confirm the event details.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Census bureau has no listed trigger events.
Does Notis automatically know when a Census report changes?
No. This workflow starts from the webhook request you provide; it does not watch Census bureau for changes.
What calendar details should I include?
Include a clear purpose and usable start and end times in the request. Google Calendar requires RFC3339 UTC start and end times, with the end after the start.
