Get Elevation by Place

Tool to retrieve elevation or altitude data for a specific location by place name. use when you have a textual place name and need its elevation in meters.

Why this helps

  • Use a textual place name as input.
  • Retrieve elevation or altitude in meters.
  • Add location detail to the event's run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Ambee once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Notis or describe it from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve and summarize elevation in meters for the place named in the request.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and have the existing Ably event flow send its request to that webhook.
  • 5Choose a run-report destination and test with one real event naming a location.
