Get an environmental brief before every site visit
Send a location and visit time to your Notis webhook. Notis checks available Ambee air quality and weather data, then creates a readable Google Drive brief.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Checking several environmental conditions before a visit adds friction and leaves teams relying on scattered notes.
- Keep visit conditions and preparation notes together in Drive.
- Give teammates a quick summary to review before leaving.
- Include the location and time used for the lookup so the context is clear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ambee and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Air Quality Brief for Site Visits.
- 3Tell Notis to use the webhook request's location and visit time to summarize available air quality and weather, and create a dated text brief in Drive.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real location and visit time, then review the brief in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
What should the webhook request include?
Include a location and the visit time or date. Notis can use those details to look up relevant available Ambee information.
Will the brief predict conditions for any future date?
Only use forecast information Ambee provides for the requested time. If no forecast is available, have Notis say that clearly in the brief.
