The Weather Agent sends your field crews a weather update for the cities they work in based on the schedule - daily, weekly etc. It assesses conditions, flags safety concerns and work impact, and delivers a structured digest without anyone checking a forecast by hand.
Navigation: Sense -> Agent Studio -> Marketplace
Note: Only admins can set up an agent.

​
Set up the Weather Agent

  1. Open Sense from the left navigation, then select Agent Studio.
  2. Select Marketplace and find Weather Agent.
  3. Select Setup agent.
The Weather Agent card in the Sense Agents Marketplace catalog, with its Setup agent button
  1. Add every city your crews work in under Cities to forecast.
  2. Turn on Hail alerts if you want today’s hail probability included.
  3. Add anything you want to change about the digest under Custom Instructions, or leave it as it is.
The Weather Agent configuration with five cities added, the Hail alerts toggle, and the built-in instructions describing each run
New Hail alerts adds hail probability from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center outlook. US locations only.

​
Choose where the digest goes

Under Tools, set one route or both:
  • Send Email: Select Configure and enter the address the digest goes to.
  • Send Message (Chat): Select Configure and name the Zuper Chatchannel the digest is posted to.
  • Get Weather: Select Configure to change the cities or the Hail alerts setting later.
The Get Weather tool dialog with the cities list and the Hail alerts toggle turned on, over the agent's Tools section
The digest in Zuper Chat is available on the web app only.

​
Set the daily time

  1. Open the Triggers section and select the Scheduled trigger.
  2. Choose Every day and set the time the digest should go out.
  3. Check the timezone shown below the time, then select Done.
  4. Select Deploy agent.
The Scheduled trigger dialog set to Every day at 9:00 AM, with the timezone shown below
Once the agent is deployed, select Run now to see the digest immediately and check it reads the way you want, rather than waiting for the first scheduled run.

​
What your team receives

Each run fetches the forecast for every configured city and produces one digest containing:
  • An overall safety and work impact assessment is flagged when conditions need attention.
  • Recommendations for the day, written for crews working outdoors.
  • A city-by-city outlook, with hail probability where Hail alerts are on.
A Weather Digest posted to a Zuper Chat channel, with a hail risk table, safety and work impact assessments, recommendations and a city outlook
Open the Chat module and the channel you configured to read the update, or check the email address you set.

​
Change the agent later

Open Agent Studio -> My agents, select Weather Agent, edit the cities, instructions, tools or schedule, and select Save changes.
Removing the Send Message (Chat) or Send Email tool stops the digest from reaching your team by that route, even though the instructions still describe it.
