Key Features and Highlights
This workflow is triggered on a scheduled basis to automatically retrieve the current "feels-like temperature" in Berlin. It intelligently determines whether to send a reminder SMS based on temperature conditions. The highlight lies in the integration of weather data APIs and SMS services, enabling automated weather-aware notifications.
Core Problem Addressed
Helps users stay informed about local weather changes in real time, especially by sending timely reminders when the feels-like temperature falls below a preset threshold. This encourages users to take appropriate measures (such as dressing warmly) to avoid discomfort or health issues caused by neglecting weather changes.
Use Cases
