Real-time PulsePoint emergency alerts to iMessage with AI summaries

Emergency Alerts Reporter to iMessage This n8n template fetches real-time emergency incident alerts from PulsePoint for a specific agency and delivers them directly to any phone number via iMessage using the Blooio API. It's designed to keep users informed with clear, AI-summarized reports of emergency activity near them—automatically and reliably. Use cases are powerful and immediate: - Get real-time fire/medical alerts for your neighborhood. - Use it for family, local safety groups, or even emergency response teams. - Convert technical dispatch data into readable updates with emojis and plain English. --- 🧠 Good to Know - You’ll need a PulsePoint agency ID (see instructions below). - iMessages are sent using Blooio’s API (which supports Apple’s iMessage and fallback RCS/SMS). - Messages are AI-enhanced using OpenAI's o4-mini model to summarize incident reports with context and urgency. - The workflow runs every hour, but this can be configured to match your needs. - Each report is sent only once, thanks to persistent tracking of seen incident IDs in workflow static memory. --- ⚙️ How it Works 1. Trigger: A Schedule Trigger (every hour) or manual start kicks off the flow. 2. Get Alerts: A code node fetches the latest PulsePoint incidents for a specified agency and decrypts the data. 3. Filter New Incidents: We store previously seen incident IDs to prevent duplicate alerts. 4. Merge Incidents: All new incident details are merged into a single payload. 5. Condition Check: If there are no new incidents, nothing is sent. 6. AI Summary: The incident data is passed to an AI agent for summarization with human-friendly emojis and formatting. 7. Send Message: The final summary is sent via Blooio’s API to your phone using iMessage. --- 📝 How to Use 1.
