1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Weather Forecast Integration

To start receiving daily weather forecasts directly in your email inbox, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate workflows between different applications, including Gmail and OpenWeather.

Begin by visiting the Pabbly website. If you don’t already have an account, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create one. Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect app and click on ‘Access Now’ to get started.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow to automate the weather forecast emails. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard. You will be prompted to give your workflow a name, such as ‘Daily Weather Reports’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• You will see two windows: Trigger and Action.

In the Trigger window, select the schedule option to specify when you want to receive the email. This is where Pabbly Connect plays a crucial role in automating the sending of weather updates.

3. Setting Up the Schedule for Email Delivery

To receive your weather report, you need to set up a schedule within Pabbly Connect. Choose the frequency of the emails; in this case, you will select ‘Every Day’. Specify the time in UTC format, which is essential for accurate timing.

For example, if you want to receive the weather forecast at 9 AM IST, convert this to UTC, which would be 3:30 AM. Enter this time in the appropriate field. After setting the time, click ‘Save’ to finalize your schedule.

• Select ‘Every Day’ for the frequency.
• Enter the UTC time for email delivery.

This scheduled trigger will ensure that you receive an email containing the weather forecast at your specified time every day.

4. Fetching Weather Data from OpenWeather

Now that you have set the schedule, it is time to fetch the weather data using Pabbly Connect. In the Action window, select the API option and configure it to get the current weather data from OpenWeather.

You will need to enter the endpoint URL from OpenWeather, which includes your city name and API key. For example, if you are interested in Bhopal, format the URL correctly and ensure to include your API key for authentication.

Copy the API endpoint from OpenWeather. Paste it into the action configuration in Pabbly Connect.

After entering the necessary details, click ‘Save’ to retrieve the weather data that will be sent via email.

5. Sending the Weather Report via Email

The final step is to send the weather report using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. In the Action event, choose the option to ‘Send an Email’. Connect your Gmail account and specify the recipient’s email address.

Map the fields from the weather data you fetched earlier to the email content. This includes temperature, weather condition, humidity, and other relevant details. Once you have mapped all necessary fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is working correctly.

Enter the recipient’s email address. Map the weather data to the email content.

Upon successful testing, you will receive an email containing the weather forecast, confirming that your integration is functioning perfectly.
