Ground business landscape slides in Census data

Add a market slide and get business survey evidence attached to the research flow.

Trigger

New Slide Added

Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.

Action

Get American Business Survey

Tool to retrieve annual business survey (abs) data for a specified year and endpoint.

Why this helps

Business landscape claims often rely on stale notes because survey data retrieval takes a separate research session.

  • Supports evidence based market narratives
  • Reduces research session switching
  • Keeps year and endpoint explicit

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Slides and Census bureau in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Business landscape check.
  • 3Tell Notis to read each new slide and retrieve American Business Survey data for the stated year and endpoint.
  • 4Pick New Slide Added as the trigger and choose where reports go.
  • 5Test with one real sector slide.

Questions about this workflow

What must the slide provide?

The slide should identify the survey year and endpoint, or Notis will report what is missing.

Can this compare multiple sectors?

Yes, if the slide or instruction names the endpoints to retrieve.
