Bring a solar forecast into energy file follow up
When an energy file gets a new task, fetch the local solar outlook needed for the next planning step.
Trigger
New Task Created on File
Triggers when a new task is created on a Box file. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new tasks 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
A task on an energy file can require solar context that takes extra searching and context switching to assemble.
- Tie forecast lookups to newly created file tasks.
- Include hourly production and loss estimates in the run report.
- Surface tasks without a usable location for follow up.
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 write a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to retrieve the Corrently PV forecast for the location stated in the energy file task or your instruction, and report if the location is missing.
- 4Pick the Box new task created on file trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real energy file task that identifies a location.
Questions about this workflow
Can it infer a site from the file name?
Only if you provide a reliable rule or context for doing so. Otherwise, have Notis ask for or report the missing location.
What happens after the forecast is retrieved?
The workflow can include the hourly forecast and loss estimates in its run report for the next planning step.
