Why this helps
A severe weather notice can be easy to miss when it arrives apart from research plans and participant logistics.
- Bring an alert into the relevant research project.
- Summarize possible relevance for planned fieldwork.
- Give the team a record to review when adjusting plans.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and Dovetail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Ask Notis to review the AccuWeather alert for the specified location and create a Dovetail doc summarizing the alert and possible relevance to the research plan.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the doc clearly distinguishes the alert from any suggested follow-up.
Questions about this workflow
