Get solar forecasts from energy file comments
A forecast request in a Box file comment can start the lookup without a separate manual handoff.
Trigger
New File Comment Added
Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.
Action
PV Generation Forecast
Tool to get solar energy production forecasts (hourly output and loss estimates) for a specific location. use when you need hourly pv generation data to optimize energy scheduling.
Why this helps
Forecast requests in document comments can get lost between reviewing the file and opening an energy tool.
- Respond to new comments on the monitored file with a forecast when requested.
- Use only a clear location supplied in the comment or instruction.
- Report comments that need clarification.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Corrently once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it and write a prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to check each new comment for an explicit solar forecast request, retrieve a Corrently PV forecast for a stated location, and report missing location details.
- 4Pick the Box new file comment added trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real comment that asks for a forecast and names a location.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment start a forecast?
Tell Notis to act only when the comment explicitly requests a forecast, so unrelated comments do not prompt a lookup.
What if a comment says only 'this site'?
Have Notis report the missing location unless the automation instruction provides a clear way to identify it.
