Start a decennial Census lookup from your workflow
Send an HTTP request when a research need comes up, then let Notis retrieve the decennial Census data described in your instruction.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
A one-off data request can stall when the details are scattered across tools and the Census lookup is another manual step.
- Start a lookup from an HTTP request.
- Make the vintage, dataset, geography, and variables explicit.
- Receive a short interpretation of the retrieved data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name and report channel.
- 3In one instruction, specify the decennial vintage, dataset, geography, variables, and summary format.
- 4Choose an HTTP request webhook as the trigger, then test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Does the webhook itself select Census variables?
No. The automation instruction describes the requested data. Include the variables and dataset you want Notis to retrieve.
Can Notis explain an unavailable field?
Use Get Variable Details to retrieve metadata for a specific variable in a dataset and year. The variable must still be valid for the requested data.
