Turn a weather check into a Slack alert
When a weather check is needed, start the automation with an HTTP request and have Notis share the relevant conditions in Slack.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
A changing weather situation can leave teams waiting for someone to check conditions, interpret them, and remember to tell everyone.
- Start a check through an HTTP request when conditions need attention.
- Put relevant weather context where the team can act on it.
- Avoid manually switching between a weather source and Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ambient Weather and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: check current Ambient Weather conditions and send a concise Slack alert with the details the team needs.
- 4Pick a webhook as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the alert is clear.
