Get Local Weather Alerts Directly in Slack
detail.loadingPreview
Automate your day with real-time weather updates delivered directly to your Slack channel. Never miss crucial weather information again.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a seamless way to receive hyper-local weather forecasts directly within your Slack workspace. It starts by listening for a webhook trigger, which can be initiated by a simple message containing a location. The workflow then uses OpenStreetMap to geocode the location and retrieves detailed weather data from the National Weather Service (NWS) API. Finally, it formats this information into an easily digestible message and sends it to a designated Slack channel. Stay informed about current conditions and upcoming forecasts without ever leaving Slack.
Key Features
- Automated Weather Delivery: Receive weather updates automatically in your Slack channel.
- Location-Based Forecasts: Get weather tailored to any location you specify.
- NWS Data Integration: Leverages the official National Weather Service API for accurate data.
- Customizable Slack Alerts: Send alerts to your preferred Slack channel.
How To Use
- Set up the Webhook Node: Configure the 'Webhook' node with a unique path (e.g., 'slack1') to receive incoming requests.
- Configure OpenStreetMap Node: In the 'OpenStreetMap' node, set the 'q' query parameter to receive the location text from the webhook's JSON body.
- Set up the First NWS Node: Connect the 'OpenStreetMap' node to the 'NWS' node. The 'NWS' node's URL should dynamically fetch latitude and longitude from the OpenStreetMap response.
- Configure the Second NWS Node: Connect the 'NWS' node to 'NWS1'. This node will use the grid coordinates from the previous NWS response to fetch the detailed forecast.
- Configure the Slack Node: Connect 'NWS1' to the 'Slack' node. In the 'Slack' node, customize the 'text' parameter to format the weather forecast data retrieved from 'NWS1' into a readable message. Ensure your Slack credentials are set up correctly.
