Why this helps
Tide information can be hard to keep alongside the rest of an outing plan.
- Keep returned tide details with the plan
- Create a searchable reference
- Avoid repeating the same lookup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beach Day API and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the requested beach's available tide predictions in a Drive document, noting the prediction period returned.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real tide lookup.
Questions about this workflow
Will the note include tide times for any date?
Only if the API returns predictions for the requested period. The workflow should state the period included in the response.
Does the note make safety recommendations?
It can organize the returned data, but it should not imply conditions or safety details that the API did not provide.
