Weather via Slack
This workflow provides an instant weather inquiry service through Slack. Users simply need to send a request containing the location name, and the system will automatically retrieve the latitude and longitude of that location and call the meteorological bureau's API to obtain detailed weather information. Ultimately, the formatted weather forecast will be pushed to the designated Slack channel. This automated process greatly enhances the efficiency of the team in obtaining weather information and is suitable for internal corporate communication, customer support, and personal daily activity planning, saving time on switching applications.

Key Features and Highlights
This workflow enables instant retrieval and push of weather forecasts for specified locations directly through Slack. Users simply send the location name via a Webhook, after which the system automatically performs geocoding using OpenStreetMap, fetches accurate weather data from the U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) API, and finally delivers a formatted weather forecast message to the designated Slack channel.
Core Problem Addressed
In team collaboration scenarios, quickly obtaining accurate weather information often requires switching between multiple apps or websites. This workflow automates the process by integrating weather queries into Slack, significantly improving information access efficiency and team responsiveness.
