Review station readings for outdoor deadlines

Let a deadline discussion trigger a station check, so current conditions are easier to consider before time runs short.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Get Devices

Tool to retrieve a list of user's ambient weather devices with their most recent data. use when you need to list your stations and view their latest readings.

Why this helps

An important condition check can be overlooked when deadline updates and follow-ups compete for attention.

  • Use deadline context to prompt current readings.
  • Keep weather checks tied to the relevant project update.
  • Support timely decisions with less searching.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Ambient Weather to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis in plain language which outdoor deadline messages should cue a reading check.
  • 3Describe the deadline context and relevant current Ambient Weather data to retrieve in one instruction.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with one real weather-dependent deadline update.

Questions about this workflow

Will this remind someone before the deadline?

The chosen action retrieves device readings. It does not schedule a reminder.

Can it tell whether a deadline is at risk?

It can retrieve station data for the planning context, but the available action does not specify deadline analysis.
