Get a heads-up when rain is close
A near-term precipitation check can help you decide whether to pause, cover, or move an outdoor task.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Long-range forecasts do not always answer the immediate question of whether rain is about to start.
- Use MinuteCast for a near-term precipitation check.
- Send a message tied to an outdoor task or location you specify.
- Avoid repeated manual forecast refreshes.

Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named MinuteCast rain alert.
- 3Tell Notis the location, how soon precipitation should count, and who should receive the reminder.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example, confirming the WhatsApp recipient has texted first.
