This automation fetches real-time weather alerts from the OpenWeather API and sends SMS notifications to specified phone numbers using the Twilio API.
It runs on a scheduled trigger every 6 hours, checking the current weather conditions and 24-hour forecast, and automatically alerts users about severe weather like extreme temperatures, storms, and high winds. The alerts provide a concise summary of the current situation and a 3-hour forecast preview, helping teams, families, or field workers stay informed and prepared for changing weather conditions.
Latenode bills workflow runs in credits: 1 credit = 30 seconds of processing. Minimum charge per run depends on your plan. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
