Trigger

Action

Air Quality

Tool to get air quality data for a city. use when you need current aqi, pollutant levels, and a health recommendation.

Why this helps

Current environmental context can require a separate search while preparing to engage with a new topic.

  • Provide current context for a named city
  • Keep a useful reading with the topic report
  • Avoid interrupting topic review

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Canvas and Apiverve once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a Notis automation for topic review.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to fetch air quality only when a new topic clearly names a city and the information is relevant.
  • 4Choose New Canvas Discussion Topic as the trigger and select a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real city-based topic and verify the location in the report.

Questions about this workflow

Does every city mention trigger a lookup?

Ask Notis to check only when air quality is relevant to the topic. Ambiguous city names should be flagged rather than guessed.

Can the result be treated as a forecast?

No. This action returns current air quality data, not a forecast.
