Questions about this workflow
What forecast information can drive the notification?
AccuWeather provides current conditions, forecasts, alerts, MinuteCast precipitation forecasts and lightning data. State which information and criteria should prompt a notification.
Are there constraints on notification timing and roles?
Yes. The notification end time must be after the start time, and any notification roles must be valid for the Canvas account.
Does a forecast notification automatically change course access?
No. It creates an account notification. Any operational or course changes must be handled separately.
