Action

Why this helps
A one-off beach question can turn into a detour through searches, tabs, and a manual summary.
- Start a search when an HTTP request arrives.
- Put the useful results into a Slack message.
- Avoid repeating the same manual lookup and write-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Beach Day API and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Beach Conditions Request.
- 3Tell Notis to use the incoming request to search Beach Day API and summarize the returned beach information in Slack.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example request and check the Slack result.
Questions about this workflow
What starts the automation?
An HTTP request to the webhook trigger starts it. Include the search context you want Notis to use.
Can Notis return information that Beach Day API does not provide?
No. Notis can summarize returned data, but any additional criteria or information must be supplied in the request or instruction.
