Why this helps
An ad hoc market question can turn into a long detour through data sources and manual notes.
- Start research from an HTTP request when a location question arises.
- Keep the requested geography and available demographic measures together.
- Save the resulting report in Drive for later reference.
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 name the location report.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the location details in the incoming request to retrieve available demographics and create a concise report.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, select where run reports go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook request include?
Include enough location detail to identify the intended geography, such as a place name or geographic identifier, and state any measures needed.
Can it report every demographic measure?
It can summarize available Census measures for the requested geography. Ask Notis to state when a measure or geography is unavailable.
