Deliver a daily random recipe to Telegram.
Daily workflow set to retrieve a random recipe and share it in a Telegram chat.
How it works
The workflow "Deliver a daily random recipe to Telegram" is designed to automatically retrieve a random recipe each day and send it to a specified Telegram chat. The workflow operates through a series of interconnected nodes that facilitate data retrieval, processing, and communication.
1. Cron Node:
The workflow begins with a Cron node that triggers the workflow daily at a specified time. This node is responsible for initiating the entire process.
2. HTTP Request Node:
After the Cron node, an HTTP Request node is used to fetch a random recipe from a public API. The configuration of this node specifies the endpoint from which the recipe data is retrieved, ensuring that the workflow has access to a variety of recipes.
3. Set Node:
Following the HTTP Request node, a Set node is utilized to format the data received from the API. This node extracts relevant information such as the recipe title, ingredients, and instructions, preparing it for the next step in the workflow.
4. Telegram Node:
The final step in the workflow involves a Telegram node that sends the formatted recipe information to a designated chat. The node is configured with the chat ID and the message content, which includes the recipe details formatted for clarity.
The data flows sequentially from the Cron node to the HTTP Request node, then to the Set node, and finally to the Telegram node, ensuring that each step builds upon the previous one to deliver the final output.
