Send Daily Weather Updates via Pushcut Notification

This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching daily weather information for a specified location and sending it as a push notification to your iOS device using Pushcut.

What it does

This workflow simplifies staying informed about your local weather by automatically retrieving the forecast and delivering it directly to your phone.

1. Schedules Daily Trigger: The workflow is triggered once every day at a specified time (e.g., 8:00 AM).
2. Fetches Weather Data: It queries the OpenWeatherMap API to get the current weather conditions and forecast for a predefined city.
3. Sends Push Notification: The retrieved weather information is then formatted and sent as a push notification using the Pushcut app.

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
• OpenWeatherMap API Key: An API key from OpenWeatherMap to fetch weather data. You can get one by signing up on their website.
• Pushcut Account & App: A Pushcut account and the Pushcut app installed on your iOS device. You will also need to create a Pushcut API Key.
• Pushcut Notification Setup: Within the Pushcut app, you need to set up a notification that this workflow can trigger. Ensure you know the name of this notification.
