Your own limits, alerts and a widget

Custom rule example

Ladder and mast work: gusts at most 45 km/h, no thunderstorms, air at least 0°C, daylight only, at least 3 hours.

Save it once in your dashboard (or with POST /v1/profiles), then call /v1/decide?profile=prf_…. Any hour that breaks a limit scores 0.

Alerts

Watch a site for the next days. When a day turns from go to no-go (or back) we email you and/or POST a signed webhook to your system.

Checks every 1, 3, 6 or 12 hours are free; each notification costs one call.
