Send a request to your Notis webhook and get a demographic profile based on the geography and variables you specify.

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

Ad hoc demographic questions often wait in a queue while someone repeats the same Census lookup steps.

  • Start an on-demand profile through an HTTP request.
  • Retrieve detailed ACS data for a supplied geography and variables.
  • Return a concise summary through your selected report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Census bureau once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the profile request.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve ACS 5-year estimates for the geography and variables included with the research request.
  • 4Choose a webhook as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test by sending one HTTP request with a real example.

Questions about this workflow

What must the request include?

The automation needs a supported geography and the variables and year for the ACS query. Define how those arrive in the request.

Does the webhook have a prebuilt request form?

No setup screen is specified here. Notis starts from an HTTP request, and you describe the expected inputs in the instruction.
