Turn a channel post into an air quality check

Let a location request in your channel bring current conditions into the conversation.

Trigger

New Channel Post

Triggered when a new post is published to a channel where your bot is an administrator.

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

A useful location question can get buried in a channel while everyone switches to separate search tools.

  • Handle a location request where the team already coordinates.
  • Make current conditions visible to channel participants.
  • Reduce duplicated searches before a shared plan.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and IQAir airvisual once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to set it up.
  • 3Write one prompt asking Notis to retrieve current city air quality when an admin channel post requests an air check and names the location.
  • 4Choose Telegram's New Channel Post trigger and select a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test by publishing a real post with city, state, and country in a channel where the bot is an administrator.
