Action
Get Air Quality by Country Code
Tool to retrieve real-time air quality data for a specific country using a 3-letter iso code. use after acquiring the country code and when you want a national overview of air quality.
Why this helps
Country-level questions can trigger unnecessary city-by-city searches and add busywork to a quick decision.
- Use a country code for a national overview instead of starting with individual city checks.
- Keep the lookup attached to the message that raised the question.
- Retrieve Ambee's current country-level air quality data.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ambee to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or describe the request to Notis in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to retrieve Ambee's country air quality when a Slack message asks for a national overview and gives a three-letter ISO code.
- 4Choose Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real message that includes a three-letter country code.
