Keep weather follow-up from slipping
Let Notis check conditions on a schedule and create a Slack reminder when the team should take a weather-related follow-up action.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Weather-dependent follow-up is easy to forget when it lives in a forecast app instead of the team's task flow.
- Turn relevant conditions into a visible follow-up in Slack.
- Reduce the chance that a weather-dependent task gets missed.
- Use a recurring check without repeatedly opening the forecast.
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 Ambient Weather conditions and create a Slack reminder when a specified follow-up is warranted.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the reminder text and timing.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a reminder every time it runs?
Describe in the instruction when a reminder is warranted and what follow-up it should capture.
Can the schedule be adjusted?
Yes. Choose the recurring schedule when you select the trigger.
Does this require a Slack message action?
No. It uses Slack's create reminder action to make the follow-up easier to find.
