Get a demographic brief for each new location
Give each new location a quick, consistent first look before deciding what to investigate next.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
New location ideas often sit in a queue while someone manually gathers the same basic context.
- Start an initial review from a simple HTTP request.
- Use the same Census measures for each location.
- Send the summary to a WhatsApp recipient already in the conversation window.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau and Whatsapp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and specify the measures to include for each submitted location.
- 3Choose the webhook trigger and a report channel.
- 4Confirm each recipient has initiated a WhatsApp conversation first.
- 5Test with one real location request and check the returned geography and summary.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow approve a location?
No. It supplies demographic context for your review; your team decides whether to proceed.
What information should the webhook request include?
Provide enough location detail to identify the geography, along with any request-specific context your instruction needs.
