Ways Notis can move work from GitHub to Census bureau
Add local demographic context to failed checks
When a GitHub check fails, retrieve ACS 5-year estimates for the relevant geography to help explain market or population assumptions behind the change.
Check Census variable details after a PR review
When a GitHub pull request review is submitted, look up Census variable metadata to validate labels, concepts, data types, and allowed values referenced in the review.
Attach county industry statistics to deployments
When a GitHub deployment is created, retrieve County Business Patterns data to add county-level establishment and employment context for industry-related launches.
Refresh population estimates on PR commits
When a new commit is added to a pull request, retrieve Census population estimates for a specified geography to support changes tied to population or service-area assumptions.
Add decennial data to geography-related issues
When a new GitHub issue is created, retrieve decennial Census data for the geography and dataset it concerns to give the issue useful population context.
Refresh business survey context after commits
When a commit is pushed, retrieve American Business Survey data for a specified year and endpoint to accompany changes to business analysis or reporting code.
Review resilience data when a repo gains a star
When a new GitHub stargazer appears, retrieve Community Resilience Estimates for a specified geography and year to prepare relevant community impact context.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Census bureau. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Census bureau actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get ACS 1-Year Estimates
Tool to retrieve 1-year american community survey (acs) estimates for a specified geography. use when you need the most recent annual acs data for a given area.

Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Get Population Estimates
Tool to retrieve population estimates program (pep) data for a specified vintage and dataset. use when you need population or demographic estimates for specific geographies.
New Code Scanning Alert Created

Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Get Variable Details
Tool to retrieve metadata for a specific variable in a census dataset for a given year. use when you need the label, concept, data type, attribute codes, and valid-value constraints.
Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
You · in the Notis Builder
NEW“When a row gets added to the Q4 OKRs Notion database and the status is Blocked, send a Telegram message to the owner with a summary of what's blocking, and ping me if there's no reply within 24 hours.”
