Most powerful ways to connect Freshdesk and Open Weather
Freshdesk + Open Weather + Slack: When a new ticket is created in Freshdesk, the flow checks if the ticket's description mentions weather-related issues. If it does, the flow uses Open Weather to get current weather conditions and posts a notification in a specified Slack channel alerting the support team.
Freshdesk + Open Weather + Google Sheets: When a new ticket is created in Freshdesk, the flow checks if the ticket's description mentions weather-related impacts.
