Deliver daily translated Calvin and Hobbes comics to Discord.

How it works

This workflow operates by automating the daily retrieval, translation, and distribution of Calvin and Hobbes comics to a Discord channel. The process begins with a scheduled trigger that initiates the workflow at a specified time each day.

1. HTTP Request Node:

The workflow starts with an HTTP Request node that fetches the latest Calvin and Hobbes comic strip from a designated API or web source. This node is configured to make a GET request to the appropriate URL, retrieving the comic data in JSON format.

2. Function Node:

After obtaining the comic data, the workflow utilizes a Function node to extract the relevant information, such as the comic image URL and the text content of the dialogues. This node processes the JSON response to format the data for the next steps.

3. Translation Node:

The extracted text from the comic is then sent to a translation service through another HTTP Request node. This node is configured to make a POST request to a translation API, where the text is translated into English and Korean (or any additional languages specified). The translated text is returned in the response.

4. Discord Node:

Finally, the translated comic and its dialogues are sent to a Discord channel using the Discord node. This node is set up to post a message containing the comic image along with the translated text, ensuring that the content is shared with the community in a visually appealing format.

The workflow effectively combines these nodes to create a seamless process that delivers daily comic content to users in multiple languages.
