Why this helps
Remembering to check lightning data is one more task competing with the start of outdoor work.
- Add a repeatable check before outdoor work.
- Notify a designated contact when your specified condition is met.
- Use AccuWeather lightning data as the basis for the message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Outdoor lightning check.
- 3Tell Notis the location, schedule, condition to check in available lightning data, and message recipient.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example, confirming the recipient has texted first.
Questions about this workflow
Does this replace a safety procedure?
No. It sends information from the scheduled check. Follow the safety procedures you provide for your work.
Can it check a specific work site?
Include the site location in your instruction. The usefulness depends on AccuWeather data available for that location.
