Keep target market population research on a steady rhythm
Set a recurring research check for the places you track, so the population question does not depend on remembering to ask again.
Trigger

Why this helps
Founders can intend to revisit market assumptions and then lose the thread among daily priorities.
- Create a predictable market research touchpoint.
- Keep specified geographies in view over time.
- Reduce the mental load of remembering when to revisit a baseline.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Census bureau to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to schedule a population research pulse.
- 3Write one prompt naming the geographies, vintage or dataset policy, and Population Estimates lookup to perform.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test the first run and confirm its coverage matches your target areas.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use this for a weekly trend update?
The action retrieves population estimates. Choose an appropriate cadence for available data and the review you intend; a weekly run does not make the source weekly.
What areas will it check?
Name the target geographies in the prompt so each scheduled run repeats a defined lookup.
