Video Introduction Want to automate your inbox or need a custom workflow? 📞 Book a Call | 💬 DM me on Linkedin Workflow Overview This workflow automatically delivers a daily weather forecast to your email inbox every morning at 7:00 AM. It demonstrates practical API-to-API integration by connecting the Meteosource weather API directly to Gmail using AlekSystem's HTTP Request node, without requiring a pre-built Meteosource integration. Why This Workflow is Valuable Instead of manually checking weather forecasts each morning, this automation fetches current and next-day weather summaries from Meteosource and delivers them directly to your inbox. It's a perfect example of how direct API integration unlocks tools that don't have dedicated AlekSystem nodes, giving you access to the full functionality of any service with an API. Key Features Scheduled daily execution at 7:00 AM (customizable) Fetches weather data using the Meteosource API with secure Query Auth credentials Sends formatted email with today's weather in the subject and tomorrow's forecast in the body Easy location and recipient customization through a Config node Setup Requirements Meteosource API Account: Sign up for a free account at Meteosource to get your API key (includes 400 free calls per day, more than enough for daily forecasts). Credentials needed: Meteosource credentials**: Create an HTTP Query Auth credential in AlekSystem with the parameter name key and your Meteosource API key as the value Gmail OAuth2**: Connect your Gmail account to AlekSystem for sending emails Configuration Open the Config node to personalize: place_id**: Change from "london" to your desired location (use Meteosource place ID format) send_to_email**: Update with your preferred recipient email address This workflow demonstrates the power of the HTTP Request node for connecting any API to your automation workflows.
