Problem Solved

This workflow automates the process of sending SMS notifications based on current weather conditions. It addresses the challenge of manually checking weather updates and communicating them, enabling timely and relevant messages to be sent without human intervention.

Workflow Steps

1. Scheduling: The workflow is triggered daily at 9 AM using the Cron node.
2. Weather Data Retrieval: The OpenWeatherMap node fetches the current temperature for Berlin.
3. Message Preparation: The Plivo node constructs a message using the retrieved temperature data, resulting in a notification like: "Hey! The temperature outside is 20°C."
4. SMS Sending: The constructed message is sent via SMS using Plivo.

- Adjust the Schedule: Update the triggerTimes in the Cron node to change the time when the workflow runs.
- Message Personalization: Edit the message template in the Plivo node to include different information or formatting.
