Once logged in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the workflow section where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow, and select the appropriate folder for organization.

2. Scheduling the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

• Select ‘Every Day’ as the frequency.
• Choose a time for the trigger; for example, 7 a.m.

After setting the frequency and time, click on ‘Save’ to confirm your trigger settings. This ensures that your workflow will run automatically every day at the specified time.

3. Connecting to Weather API Using Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect to the Weather API through Pabbly Connect. Select ‘API by Pabbly’ as the action application. The action event will be ‘Execute API Request’ which allows us to retrieve weather data.

To set this up, paste your Weather API key into the designated field. Then, specify the parameters such as location, number of days for the forecast, and whether to include air quality data. Ensure to select the correct response format, which should be JSON.

• Enter your location (e.g., Bal) for weather updates.
• Choose the number of forecast days (typically 1).

4. Updating Google Sheets with Weather Data

Now that we have the weather data, we will update Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as the action application and choose ‘Update Row’ as the action event. This will allow us to insert the weather data into our spreadsheet.

Select the spreadsheet containing your weather forecast. Map the maximum and minimum temperature fields from the API response.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save’ and test the request to confirm that the data is correctly updated in your Google Sheets.

5. Refreshing Google Slides with Updated Data

The final step is to ensure that your Google Slides reflect the updated weather data. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Slides as the action application and choose the ‘Refresh Chart’ action event to automatically update your presentation.

Connect your Google Slides account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’ and authorizing access. Then, select the specific presentation and chart object ID that you want to refresh. This will ensure that your Google Slides presentation always displays the latest weather information.

Choose the correct presentation from your Google Slides account. Select the chart object ID that corresponds to your weather data.

After filling in these details, click on ‘Save’ and test the request. This will confirm that your Google Slides are updated automatically whenever the weather data changes in Google Sheets.
