Get a Slack reminder when rain could disrupt plans
Have Notis check the forecast and create a reminder when rain deserves a second look.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Rain can change commute and outdoor plans, but remembering to check the forecast later is easy to miss.
- Put a timely follow-up in Slack reminders.
- Check forecasts on a schedule that fits your planning routine.
- Use your instruction to describe what forecast conditions matter.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis what forecast conditions should create a Slack reminder, what the reminder should say, and when it should be due.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule for checking the forecast and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real forecast and confirm the reminder timing and wording.
