How It Works
The workflow initiates via a schedule trigger, automatically executing at predefined intervals. An HTTP request node retrieves weather data from a specified API, capturing critical meteorological information. The retrieved data is then systematically processed and transferred to an Airtable database, ensuring structured and accessible record-keeping. A sticky note node provides additional context or logging, while the stop-and-error node manages potential workflow interruptions, creating a resilient data collection mechanism.
