Why this helps
Lightning conditions can change quickly, and separate weather messages are easy to lose when coordinating field work.
- Keep incoming lightning details with the relevant site check.
- Reduce re-entry of weather information.
- Make the latest received conditions easier for coordinators to review.
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 turn each incoming lightning update into a CommCare site check form and include only the location and details present in the request.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real lightning update and review the resulting CommCare form.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the workflow?
An external service that receives AccuWeather lightning data sends an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
Will the form state that a site is safe?
No safety conclusion should be inferred from the weather payload alone. Supply your program's criteria if you want the form to include a program-defined assessment.
