Compare relocation cities with current air data
Bring a quick air quality check into the city comparison already happening in Slack, without opening another research thread.
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 City Air Quality
Tool to retrieve air quality data for a specific city. Use when you need current pollution and weather data by specifying city, state, and country.
Why this helps
Comparing several locations can create a pile of tabs and notes that is hard to revisit when attention shifts.
- Retrieve current city conditions as each location comes up.
- Keep location checks attached to the comparison discussion.
- Reduce separate research notes to track across candidate cities.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and IQAir AirVisual to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis in one prompt to check current air quality whenever a Slack relocation discussion names a city.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with a city from the shortlist.
Questions about this workflow
Does this compare cities automatically?
Each matching message triggers a current city lookup; the action does not create a custom comparison analysis.
Should each message name one city?
Yes, a clear city per request helps return a useful, correctly identified result.
