Defining a Weather Info Report

While you can configure a standard Kore.ai alert to provide an alert message to a user with, for example, a weather report for the day, or daily tide report. But what if the user wants a 3-day or 10-day forecast? That’s a lot of data to push into a single message. With the Kore.ai Bots Platform, you can define a link in your message that can display the weather data in a formatted table that your end-user can retrieve when needed.
The weather info report type can be displayed as a link in a weather alert message as shown in the following illustration for the report called Get 3 Day Forecast.

When the user clicks the link in the message, a weather report shows the data for the columns defined with a table header, optional table description, and a header row as shown in the following illustration for the 3 Day Forecast report.
