Workflow Overview

This workflow automatically delivers a daily weather forecast to your email inbox every morning at 7:00 AM. It demonstrates practical API-to-API integration by connecting the Meteosource weather API directly to Gmail using n8n's HTTP Request node, without requiring a pre-built Meteosource integration.

Why This Workflow is Valuable

Instead of manually checking weather forecasts each morning, this automation fetches current and next-day weather summaries from Meteosource and delivers them directly to your inbox. It's a perfect example of how direct API integration unlocks tools that don't have dedicated n8n nodes, giving you access to the full functionality of any service with an API.
