Why this helps

- Fetch forecast data for the fieldwork city.
- Keep an air conditions check beside the logistics discussion.
- Make follow-up easier by responding to the location already named.

- 1Connect Slack and IQAir AirVisual to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis for it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve the air forecast when a Slack fieldwork message names a city.
- 4Pick the Slack channel message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with a real fieldwork location.
