Refresh a site forecast after Box folder changes
Keep a site folder change connected to its solar planning context with a Corrently forecast lookup.
Trigger
Folder Properties Changed
Triggers when a folder's core properties change in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when changes are detected in properties like name, description, modification time, parent folder, item status, or shared link settings.
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
Updated site information can prompt a new forecast, but remembering to open Corrently adds another follow up.
- Use folder changes as a cue for a site forecast review.
- Retrieve hourly PV forecasts and loss estimates when the location is known.
- Flag folders without a clear location instead of guessing.
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 provide a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to use the changed folder's available context or your instruction to identify the location, retrieve a Corrently PV forecast, and report when the location is unclear.
- 4Pick the Box folder properties changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real site folder change and a known location.
Questions about this workflow
Does a folder change always affect a forecast?
No. Specify which monitored folder represents the site or what change warrants a forecast lookup. Notis should report when the context is insufficient.
Can the action optimize energy use automatically?
This action retrieves a PV forecast. A separate decision about scheduling or consumption needs additional information and an instruction.
