Why this helps

A simple review question can expand into a long research detour that pulls attention away from the decision at hand.

  • Keep review questions focused
  • Reduce research rabbit holes
  • Support decisions with consistent data
  • Make deal discussions more concrete

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zoho Bigin and Census Bureau to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Instruct Notis: when an external request includes a Zoho Bigin deal geography and demographic question, retrieve the relevant ACS 5-year estimates and answer it concisely.
  • 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and a run-report channel, then test with one real review question.
