Alerts for the space station passing overhead — when it's visible

The scenario watches the station's orbit and local weather and sends an alert only when it can actually be seen, along with the crew on board.

  • Works out whether the station passes overhead
  • Checks the weather — will it be visible
  • Alerts only when it's worth watching
  • Arrives in your messenger and inbox

How it works

To get Slack notifications in botHelp, you don't need a developer: a ready-made scenario watches events and sends messages for you.

  1. Starts when: Schedule Trigger
  2. Then: Get ISS Position
  3. Then: Calculate Distance and Direction
  4. Check: Is ISS Overhead?
  5. If yes: Get Local Weather
  6. Then: Analyze Observation Conditions
  7. Check: Can Observe?
  8. If yes: Format Alert (Good Conditions)
  9. Check: Merge Messages
  10. Then: Get ISS Crew Info
  11. Then: Add Crew Information
  12. Then: Send to Discord
  13. Then: Send to Telegram
  14. Then: Send Email via Gmail
  15. If no: Format Alert (Poor Conditions)
  16. If no: ISS Not Overhead

You can launch this Slack + botHelp integration in Scriptera: describe the task in plain words — the scenario is built, launched and monitored for you.
