Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get American Business Survey
Tool to retrieve annual business survey (abs) data for a specified year and endpoint.
Why this helps
Business survey requests sit in intake queues while analysts determine the right endpoint and year.
- Shorten research turnaround
- Preserve intake requirements
- Create repeatable survey briefs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Census bureau in Notis once when Todoist details are forwarded.
- 2Create an automation and describe the survey brief to produce.
- 3Tell Notis to use webhook fields for the ABS year, endpoint, geography, and analysis question.
- 4Choose a notis_webhook trigger and configure the endpoint.
- 5Select a report channel and test with one intake payload.
Questions about this workflow
What if the endpoint is unclear?
Ask Notis to flag the ambiguity and request the missing endpoint instead of guessing.
Can the payload include a decision deadline?
Yes. Notis can include it in the report context, but the Census action still depends on valid request fields.
