Keep a record of weather shipping checks
Preserve the weather readings considered when reviewing a delivery or dispatch window.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Dispatch teams can repeat the same weather research when earlier checks and decisions are not recorded.
- Record readings alongside each check
- Make previous decisions easier to reference
- Apply the criteria you provide consistently
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ambient weather and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation, and name it Weather Shipping Window Check.
- 3Tell Notis to fetch current conditions, compare them with your supplied shipping criteria, and append the findings and timestamp to the check log.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and review the recorded result.
Questions about this workflow
Will this decide whether a shipment is safe?
Notis can compare available readings with criteria you supply and record the result. Your team should define the criteria and own shipping decisions.
Can I run a check for each dispatch?
Yes. Send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook whenever a dispatch check is needed.
