Why this helps
Teams often check the forecast separately and forget to carry useful conditions into their visit planning records.
- Put forecast context into a familiar application record.
- Make scheduled planning easier to repeat.
- Keep the form grounded in the forecast information available at run time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and CommCare once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, with a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to review the available forecast and submit a visit planning form to the selected CommCare application, including only relevant conditions.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real forecast and review the application form submission.
Questions about this workflow
Does AccuWeather start the scheduled workflow?
No. The Notis cron schedule starts it. The prompt can ask Notis to use available AccuWeather forecast information.
Can it determine whether a visit is safe?
Only if your program supplies explicit criteria. Otherwise, the form can report forecast conditions for a person to assess.
