Creating your first workflow

Creating your first workflow automates weather notifications by checking the temperature in Berlin every scheduled time. If the "feels like" temperature is below 18°C, it sends a message via Twilio reminding you to wear a sweater. This integration ensures you stay prepared for the weather, enhancing your daily routine with timely alerts.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the need for timely weather updates by:

- Allowing users to receive alerts when the temperature feels like 18°C or lower, prompting them to dress appropriately.
- Reducing the hassle of manually checking weather updates, thus saving time and effort.

Workflow Steps

  • Cron Node: The workflow begins with a Cron node that triggers the process on a predefined schedule (e.g., daily).
    2. OpenWeatherMap Node: It fetches the current weather data for Berlin, Germany, including temperature and other relevant metrics.
    3. IF Node: The workflow checks if the 'feels like' temperature is less than or equal to 18°C.
    4. Twilio Node: If the condition is met, a message is sent via Twilio to a specified phone number, advising the recipient to wear a sweater.
    5. NoOp Node: If the condition is not met, the workflow concludes without sending a message, ensuring no unnecessary alerts are generated.

    • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Change the cityName parameter in the OpenWeatherMap node to get weather data for a different location.
    - Adjust the feels like temperature threshold in the IF node to suit your preferences (e.g., change from 18°C to 20°C).
    - Modify the message parameter in the Twilio node to personalize the alert sent to users.
    - Update the to and from fields in the Twilio node with the appropriate phone numbers to send messages to the desired recipients.
    - Alter the Cron node settings to change the frequency of weather checks (e.g., hourly, daily).
