Why this helps
Outdoor work plans can change quickly, and lightning information may be missed when teams rely on scattered checks.
- Share relevant lightning information in the team's working channel.
- Make schedule and location context clear in the update.
- Reduce repeated manual checks during outdoor coordination.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and Ably once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check lightning data for your specified area and publish relevant conditions to your Ably channel.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the message for clear location and timing.
Questions about this workflow
Can I limit this to an outdoor work location?
Yes. Include the location in your instruction so Notis checks the relevant area.
Will it send an update every time it runs?
Tell Notis whether to post each check or only when the relevant lightning conditions change.
