Trigger

New Slide Added

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

Action

Get Decennial Census Data

Tool to retrieve decennial census data for a specified vintage and dataset. use when you need census variables for a given geography.

Why this helps

Baseline figures become unreliable when the deck does not clearly track which Census vintage and dataset produced them.

  • Makes vintage selection explicit
  • Supports consistent baseline figures
  • Reduces manual Census lookups

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Slides and Census bureau in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Decennial baseline.
  • 3Tell Notis to read each new slide and retrieve decennial Census data for its vintage, dataset and geography.
  • 4Pick New Slide Added as the trigger and choose where reports go.
  • 5Test with one real baseline slide.

Questions about this workflow

Can this retrieve housing as well as population data?

Yes, when the slide specifies the relevant decennial dataset and geography.
