Why this helps
Having to discover valid regional names during a lookup interrupts planning and can lead to stalled requests.
- List supported states or provinces for a specified country.
- Help narrow a location before requesting city-level data.
- Reduce backtracking caused by unsupported geographic assumptions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and IQAir AirVisual to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis to make it conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language prompt asking Notis to list supported states or provinces when Slack asks about a country's coverage.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real country question.
