Why this helps
After a weather event, coordinators can lose track of which cases need follow-up and what information prompted it.
- Create a repeatable follow-up record from incoming weather context.
- Keep weather information attached to the details supplied by your program.
- Reduce coordination work after an alert or forecast change.
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 submit a CommCare follow-up form when a webhook provides a weather update and the case details authorized for that workflow.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test using one real update with approved case context and review the submission.
Questions about this workflow
Does AccuWeather provide CommCare case details?
No. The webhook request must include any case context the workflow is authorized to use; weather data alone does not identify affected cases.
Will Notis decide which cases need follow-up?
Only use criteria supplied by your program. If the request does not contain enough information to apply those criteria, the workflow should leave the decision to a person.
