Get a lightning risk alert by email
See a timely heads-up when lightning could affect outdoor plans or work.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Lightning risk can change quickly, and scattered checks make it harder to react promptly.
- Receive an email when the specified risk criteria are met.
- Keep alerts focused on the places and activities you name.
- Reduce repeated forecast checking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis to check AccuWeather lightning data for your specified location and email the people you name when the stated risk warrants action.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example.
