Heat stop for outdoor work, every hour
A WhatsApp heat stop to supervisors when a site reaches 45 degrees.
What it does
Every hour between 10 am and 4 pm: the temperature at each of your sites, and when it reaches 45 degrees a WhatsApp message tells the supervisors to stop outdoor work.
In one sentence: Every hour at :00, 10:00–16:00, take your table, get the 1-day weather forecast, keep those where max temperature ≥ 45, then send message in WhatsApp Business and email the list to you.
Why it is useful
Heat rules protect workers, but someone has to watch the temperature at every site. This flow does it every hour and tells supervisors at once.
Who it is for
Construction & facility services. Contractors, building suppliers and facility managers finding work, watching sites and keeping crews safe. Every use case for construction & facilities
Best use cases
- A contractor in the Gulf

What each run gives you
- WhatsApp to supervisors
The time it saves
Every hour at :00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 5 minutes each time; it runs about 180 times a month, so it saves about 15 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
