AI AGENT TEMPLATE
Monitors weather forecasts. Drafts reschedule-first customer comms when weather threatens activity. Preserves revenue vs. straight refund.
Weather cancellations at adventure operators are uniquely consequential because adventure customers tend to travel in — they're on holiday, they've committed logistics, they want the experience. Cancelling badly generates refund demands and bad reviews; cancelling well (reschedule-first, proactive, with empathy) preserves revenue and turns a bad weather day into a loyalty-building moment.
The Adventure Weather Cancellation Agent watches the forecast continuously. When conditions cross per-activity thresholds (river flow, wave height, wind, lightning, visibility), the agent drafts individualised customer emails offering reschedule to the next available equivalent slot within 30-90 days, backed by live availability. Refunds are framed as a fallback, not the default, which shifts 40-50 points of revenue recovery versus refund-first policies.
Per-activity criteria is what makes the agent actually useful for multi-activity operators. A river at 2,000 cfs is dangerous for introductory rafting but great for intermediate kayak; a 20mph wind ends SUP but not guided climbing; a wet rock day ends climbing but not caving. The agent handles that segmentation so your customers get accurate messages instead of blanket cancellations that leave revenue on the table.
Below is the full agent spec: trigger thresholds, tools, message templates, and how to configure per-activity criteria and reschedule logic.
"Each morning at 5am, check 24-48h weather forecast. If any activity likely cancelled by weather criteria, draft reschedule-first emails to all affected bookings. Stage for manager approval."
Paste this into Dash Agents. Dash reads the prompt, picks the right tools, assembles the logic, and creates a ready-to-run agent in seconds.
The agent uses the standard Dash Agents tool library. Every tool call is logged.
On trigger, the agent runs these steps in order. Any step can be customised by re-prompting.
Pull 24-48h forecast for all active activity locations.
Rafting (river level), surf (wave size), climbing (rain), etc.
All bookings that match cancelled activity-date-location combinations.
Same activity, similar day/time within 30-90 days.
Explain closure, offer 2-3 reschedule options, fallback to refund.
Manager reviews and approves batch send.
Customisations by re-prompting in plain English: change the trigger timing or conditions, adjust the recipient list, tune thresholds, modify tone, add approval gates, connect additional channels (SMS, WhatsApp) if available. Run in approval mode for the first week to build confidence before switching to autonomous.
Structured automation beats manual follow-up in three ways:
Set this agent up on your first week. Run in approval mode for five days while you watch the outputs, then flip to autonomous. The ROI compounds across a full season — a quiet automation that simply does the right thing, every time, without anyone having to remember.
