Why this helps
Market research gets stale when demographic figures are scattered across tabs and old documents.
- Review key demographics in a familiar document instead of rebuilding the same research each month.
- Keep geographic scope and comparison periods visible in the report.
- Spot population or household changes sooner.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to prepare a monthly demographic brief for your chosen geographies and measures, noting the period and source data.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule, select where run reports should go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose the places and demographic measures?
Yes. Include the geographies and measures you want in your plain-language instruction. Notis uses the available Census data and reports when a requested measure is unavailable.
Where does the brief go?
Notis creates a Google Drive document from text. Include the destination folder in your instruction if you want it stored outside the Drive root.
