Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Batch Get Spreadsheet Values by Data Filter
Tool to return one or more ranges of values from a spreadsheet that match the specified data filters. use when you need to retrieve specific data sets based on filtering criteria rather than entire sheets or fixed ranges.
Why this helps
Reviewing every row repeatedly takes attention away from the ranges that matter for planning.
- Retrieve values from one or more matching ranges.
- Keep a recurring review focused on relevant data.
- Compare spreadsheet values with available Census Bureau context.

- 1Connect Census Bureau and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the filters, geographies, and statistics for the review.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve matching values and summarize relevant comparisons in the run report.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and check the returned ranges.
