  • Keep planning context together in Slack.
  • Reduce one-off dashboard checks during preparation.

  • 1Connect Slack and Ambient Weather to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language to check readings when a channel discusses outdoor event setup.
  • 3Describe the event setup context and relevant latest station data in one instruction.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real outdoor event setup message.
