Keep demographic research current as Jira work changes
When an issue changes direction, refresh the demographic context that helps your team evaluate the next step.
Trigger
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
Action
Get ACS 5-Year Estimates
Tool to retrieve 5-year american community survey estimates for a specified year. use when detailed acs data by geography and variables is required.
Why this helps
A changed scope or status can leave a decision grounded in demographic research that no longer fits the issue.
- Retrieve detailed ACS five-year estimates for the geography and variables described in an updated issue.
- Keep evolving research requests connected to project work.
- Surface missing geography or variable details in the run report for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Describe in one instruction how to use updated issue details to retrieve ACS five-year estimates and report any missing geography or variables.
- 4Pick Jira Updated Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real updated issue that includes a geography and requested Census variables.
Questions about this workflow
Will comment edits trigger this workflow?
No. Updated Issue fires when an issue field changes, and does not fire on comment activity.
What if the issue does not include Census variable identifiers?
The automation should call out the missing information in its run report. Variable Details can help inspect metadata when a specific dataset, year, and variable are known.
