Give new project channels a current conditions snapshot

Help project teams start with shared context instead of another setup task.

Trigger

New Channel Created Trigger

Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.

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

New project channels often require immediate planning while important environmental context remains scattered.

  • Shortens project setup
  • Creates shared context early
  • Supports environment-dependent projects

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Ambient Weather in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named New Project Weather Context.
  • 3Tell Notis to fetch latest device readings and prepare a project snapshot for the new channel.
  • 4Pick New Channel Created Trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test by creating one real project channel.

Questions about this workflow

Does this run for every new channel?

Yes, unless you apply the event's available filtering in your Notis setup.

What if weather is unrelated to the project?

The report can still list current device data, or the instruction can ask Notis to flag it as not relevant.
