Why this helps
Changes can be missed when teams check figures irregularly or compare values from different reporting periods by mistake.
- Compare values only when the requested periods are available.
- Put change and period context into a Telegram update.
- Reduce manual repeat checks for selected series.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Specify the series and comparison periods to retrieve; ask Notis to report a change only when comparable values are returned.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with real data and confirm the comparison periods and calculation basis are stated.
Questions about this workflow
Will it notify on any change?
It can report a change under the criteria in your instruction when comparable values are returned. Define any threshold you want to use.
Does Census provide a ready-made baseline?
Not necessarily. Specify the periods needed, and provide a baseline if it is not returned by the requested data.
What does it do when comparison data is missing?
Ask it to say that a comparison could not be made and identify the missing period, rather than infer a change.
