Check local air quality by postal code

Use a postal code and country from the event to get a closer reading than a broad city lookup can provide.

Action

Get Air Quality by Postal Code

Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific postal code and country. use when you need hyper-local air quality insights by postal code.

Why this helps

A city name may cover too wide an area for a site or neighborhood decision.

  • Use a postal code and country for a hyper-local check.
  • Retrieve current air quality insights.
  • Keep neighborhood-level context connected to the event.

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 air quality for the postal code and country 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 containing both inputs.

Questions about this workflow

What must the request include?

It needs both the postal code and country.

When should I use this instead of a city lookup?

Use it when the postal code and country are available and a more local reading is useful.
