Trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get current date and time

Why this helps
Analysis notes without a clear run time are harder to compare with decisions and follow-up.
- Add a clear date and time reference to a scheduled run.
- Support consistent reporting context for recurring data reviews.
- Reduce uncertainty about when a review was prepared.
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 retrieve the current date and time with the chosen timezone offset and include it in the Census review report.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and check that the reported time and timezone are clear.
Questions about this workflow
Does this action create a calendar event?
No. Get current date and time returns a time reference and accepts a specific timezone offset.
Does this workflow fetch Census statistics?
No. It provides a timestamp for the analysis context. Census data must be available or supplied separately.
Why specify a timezone offset?
The offset helps make the time reference clear for the context in which you review the data.
