Weather-Triggered Field Task Alerts
A done-for-you farm automation built for the Farm Manager, connecting Twilio and Google Calendar so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
By pulling hyperlocal weather forecasts for each individual field, this automation automatically notifies the farm manager the moment conditions line up for spraying, planting, or harvesting, including narrowing windows before a forecast shifts.
It separately sends an advance warning ahead of frost, heavy rain, or high wind that would affect any field work already scheduled, giving the crew time to adjust the plan instead of getting caught out in the field.
- Climate FieldView or a weather API
- Zapier or Make.com
- Twilio (SMS)
- Google Calendar (field task schedule)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Left unautomated, a farm manager spends hours on the parts of this job that don't require judgment: copying data, sending reminders, and tracking status by hand. Over a month, those small manual steps add up to a significant amount of lost time.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
