1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Daily Data Retrieval

To get data from a webhook URL every day, we will utilize Pabbly Connect. First, log in to your Pabbly account and navigate to the dashboard. Here, you will find various applications offered by Pabbly.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the right side of the dashboard. Name your workflow as ‘Get Data from Webhook URL Everyday’ and click on ‘Create’. This initiates a blank workflow where you can set up triggers and actions to automate your tasks.

2. Configuring the Schedule Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up a schedule trigger to run the workflow daily using Pabbly Connect. Select the ‘Schedule’ application as your trigger. This feature allows you to specify how often the workflow should execute.

• Choose the interval as ‘Every Day’.
• Set the time in UTC format according to your preference.

After configuring the schedule, click on ‘Save’. This ensures that your workflow will run automatically every day at the specified time.

3. Using API to Retrieve Data from Webhook URL

Next, you will use the API feature in Pabbly Connect to retrieve data from a specified webhook URL. Select the ‘API by Pabbly’ application as the action step. Here, you will input the webhook URL from which you want to fetch data.

Enter your desired webhook URL, such as a weather API, in the designated field. Once you have entered the URL, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will retrieve the data from the webhook, allowing you to see the response directly in Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending Data via Twilio Using Pabbly Connect

After successfully retrieving data, the next step is to send this information via SMS using Twilio, facilitated by Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and select ‘Twilio’ as the application for sending messages.

• Choose the action event as ‘Send SMS’.
• Connect your Twilio account by entering the Account SID and Authorization Token.
• Specify the sender’s number and the recipient’s number including the country code.

Compose the body of the SMS using the data retrieved from the webhook. You can map fields like temperature, weather type, and location to personalize the message before sending it out.

5. Testing and Scheduling the Workflow

Once you have configured the Twilio action, it’s time to test the entire workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the SMS is sent successfully. You should receive a message containing the weather information at the specified recipient number.

After confirming that everything works as expected, you can finalize your workflow. This setup ensures that every day, at the scheduled time, the weather data will be fetched from the webhook URL and sent via SMS using Twilio.
