Teams discuss a weather-dependent plan in Box comments but forget to check the latest readings before deciding.

- Keep follow-up tied to the file where the question came up.
- Review recent Ambient Weather readings before deciding next steps.

- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the monitored file discussion.
- 3Tell Notis: When a new comment is added to this Box file, retrieve my Ambient Weather devices and latest data so I can include current conditions in follow-up.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment and review the report.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow interpret the comment?

Can it respond directly in Box?
