- Reveal demographic patterns across customers
- Create a calm monthly planning ritual
- Reduce scattered market-analysis notes

- 2Create a monthly automation in Automations -> New Automation, or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Instruct Notis: each month, review Zoho Bigin customer and prospect geographies, retrieve detailed ACS 5-year estimates, and summarize meaningful patterns.
- 4Select a monthly cron trigger and a channel for reports, then test with one real customer area.
Questions about this workflow
Why use 5-year estimates here?
They provide detailed, stable geographic profiles when the goal is broader market understanding rather than the newest annual estimate.
How often should profiles refresh?
Monthly is a practical default, but you can choose another recurring schedule in Notis.
