Rain or Run

Context

You are a running lover and you run regularly 3-4 times a week? You are not used to checking the weather before running?

Lots of runners are not used to cheching the weather before going out. And very often a sudden rain disturbed your outdoor sports and you have to go back home being all wet.What a bad experience! And probrobably, you forget to check the weather again the next day.

How does it work?

If This Then That (IFTTT) Webhooks help us to build this service by using multiple Applets. With Webhooks we can trigger multiple services with only one action.

Let's see now how exactly we are going to set up our Applets on IFTTT:

firstly, IF Weather Underground THEN Webhook

• Go to https://ifttt.com/discover and create a new Applet
• For the THIS condition select "Weather Underground","Current condition change to","Rain"

• For the THEN condition select "Webhooks", "Make a web request" then complete action fiels as follows :



Note : Set the URL to your own Glitch project URL

Secondly, IF Webhook THEN Notification

• From your Webhooks settings page in IFTTT, copy and paste the URL value for the IFTTT_MAKER_URL variable into the .env file in your Glitch project.
• Now for each action that we'll want our Glitch app to trigger we need to create a new applet in IFTTT
• For the IF condition select "Webhooks", "Receive a web request", set an event name (for example "Can't run now") and paste that same name against IFTTT_EVENT_1= in the .env file
• For the THEN condition select "Notification", "send a notification from the IFTTT app"

Voilà! Now when the weather condition change to "rain", you will receive a notification on your phone via IFTTT app!
