OpenWeatherMap

Analytics & Data

Access current weather, multi-day forecasts, air quality data, and geocoding from OpenWeatherMap plus the One Call 3.0 API. Locations can be given by city name, coordinates, ZIP code, or city ID.

10 actions available
A route or outdoor job is scheduled for tomorrow
Agent resolves the site address to coordinates with Direct Geocoding
Agent pulls tomorrow's conditions with Get 5 Day / 3 Hour Forecast
Agent flags the forecast against the delay threshold for that job type
Agent confirms the affected jobs, crews, and customers
Agent drafts the reschedule notice for dispatch to review
The dispatch lead approves the reschedule before any customer is told

What This Integration Enables

The OpenWeatherMap connector lets agents turn a location into weather context and act on it inside a larger workflow. Agents resolve place names, ZIP codes, or coordinates through the geocoding actions, then read current conditions, a five-day forecast, or air quality for that point. One Call 3.0 actions retrieve combined current and forecast data or a historical moment when the workflow needs a precise reading. The connector supplies the reading; the surrounding flow decides what the reading means for the business.

Without FlowRunner

Weather checked by hand Someone opens a weather app each morning and eyeballs the day's risk
Reaction, not anticipation Crews reach a site before anyone realizes the job cannot run
Scattered notifications Customer and crew reschedules go out ad hoc, if they go out at all

With FlowRunner

Forecast wired into scheduling The agent reads tomorrow's forecast against each job's own threshold
Exceptions surfaced early Only the jobs at real weather risk reach a human, and they reach one in time
One coordinated notice Reschedules are drafted once and sent after a single approval

Use Case Scenarios

Weather-Aware Field Dispatch

A logistics or field-services team schedules outdoor jobs a day ahead. Each morning the agent resolves every scheduled site to coordinates with Direct Geocoding, then calls Get 5 Day / 3 Hour Forecast for tomorrow. It compares each forecast against the delay threshold for that job type, high wind for crane work, heavy rain for exterior installs. Jobs that clear the threshold stay on the board untouched. Jobs that do not become exceptions the dispatch lead sees before crews are dispatched.

Air Quality Alerting for Facilities

A facilities agent monitors air quality for sites with outdoor workers or sensitive operations. Because the Air Quality actions require coordinates, the agent runs Direct Geocoding once per site, then polls Get Air Pollution on a schedule. When the AQI crosses a health threshold, the agent posts the reading to the site's operations channel so a manager can decide whether to move work indoors.

Forecast-Driven Inventory Signal

A demand-planning agent watches the extended forecast for regions where weather moves demand, a heat wave for cold drinks, a cold snap for heaters. Using Get 5 Day / 3 Hour Forecast, it detects a sustained swing and drafts a reorder recommendation. It does not place the order. It hands the planner a sized recommendation with the forecast that triggered it, and waits for a human to confirm before anything commits.

Human-in-Loop Highlight

The weather read is never the decision. The decision is what the business does about it, and that is where the agent pauses. When tomorrow's forecast crosses a job's delay threshold, the agent does not silently move the schedule or message customers. It assembles the affected jobs, crews, and the forecast that triggered the flag, then routes to the dispatch lead through their channel with a direct question: "Tomorrow's forecast for the Riverside install shows sustained 35 mph winds, above the 25 mph crane limit. Reschedule this job and notify the customer?" Nothing reaches a customer until a human answers. This is [human-in-the-loop](/concepts/human-in-the-loop/) in the exact place it belongs: the agent handles reading the forecast and sizing the impact, and a person owns the call to reschedule a customer's day.

Agent Capabilities

10 actions

Weather

2
  • Get Current Weather Retrieve live temperature, wind, humidity, and conditions for a location. Use it to enrich a record or message with the conditions at a site right now.
  • Get 5 Day / 3 Hour Forecast Retrieve a five-day forecast in three-hour steps. Use it to trigger scheduling, dispatch, or demand decisions against a forward-looking threshold.

Air Quality

3
  • Get Air Pollution Retrieve current air quality index and pollutant levels for a set of coordinates. Use it for health or environmental alerting.
  • Get Air Pollution Forecast Retrieve a forecast of air quality and pollutant levels for coordinates. Use it to warn ahead of a poor-air day.
  • Get Air Pollution History Retrieve historical air quality data for coordinates over a range. Use it for reporting and trend analysis.

Geocoding

3
  • Direct Geocoding Resolve a place name into standardized latitude and longitude. Run it first when you only have a city or address, since the Air Quality and One Call actions require coordinates.
  • Reverse Geocoding Resolve coordinates back into place names. Use it to label a reading with a human-readable location.
  • Zip Geocoding Resolve a ZIP or postal code into coordinates.

One Call 3.0

2
  • One Call Current & Forecast Retrieve combined current, minutely, hourly, and daily forecast data in one call. Use it when a workflow needs the full picture for a point.
  • One Call Timemachine Retrieve historical or near-future weather for a precise moment. Use it to reconstruct conditions at the time an event happened.
