Action
Get Air Quality Forecast Data
Tool to retrieve air quality forecast data for a specified city, state, and country. Use after confirming location details.
Why this helps
Offsite planning has many small decisions, and one more standalone check can be lost among logistics.
- Retrieve forecast data for the offsite city.
- Add air context while dates and location are being discussed.
- Avoid a separate reminder to look up conditions.
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 create it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis in one plain-language prompt to retrieve the forecast when an offsite planning message names a city.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with a real offsite location.
Questions about this workflow
Does this choose the offsite location?
No. It retrieves a forecast for the city named in Slack.
What location details help?
A city plus its state or country where relevant makes the lookup clearer.
