Here's a breakdown of what each part of the code does: 1. API Key and Location Information: - An API key (

apiKey

) is provided for accessing the OpenWeatherMap API. - The city (

city

) and country (

country

) are specified as "Moscow" and "Russia," respectively. 2. Current Time: - The Luxon library is used to get the current time in the local timezone. - The

currentTime

variable holds the current time in a simple time format (e.g., "9:30 AM"). 3. Fetching Weather Data: - The weather data is fetched from the OpenWeatherMap API using Axios. - The

weatherUrl

is constructed with the city, country, API key, and units as metric. - The

weatherResponse

holds the response from the API. - The current temperature is extracted from the API response using Lodash's

_.get

function. 4. Getting Weather Conditions and Cloud Coverage: - The weather conditions (e.g., "Clouds," "Rain") are extracted from the API response. - The cloud coverage percentage is also extracted from the API response.

5. Time-based Greetings: - Based on the current hour, a suitable greeting message is assigned to the

greeting

variable. - Different greetings are chosen for different time ranges (morning, afternoon, evening, etc.). 6. Constructing Welcome Message: - The

welcomeMessage

is constructed by combining the

greeting

with other messages. 7. Checking Cloud Conditions: - The cloud coverage percentage is used to add information about the sky conditions to the

welcomeMessage

. - Different cloud coverage ranges trigger different messages. 8. Checking for Rain: - If the weather conditions include "Rain," the message is appended to indicate rain. 9. Checking Temperature Ranges: - Depending on the temperature range, the message about the temperature is added. - Different temperature ranges lead to different comments. 10. Finalizing Welcome Message: - The temperature information and city name are added to the

welcomeMessage

. - The

welcomeMessage

is then stored in a variable called

workflow.welcome1

.

to use the weather function you will need an API key with www.openweathermap.org - you can get 1000 free api calls per day. here is the code below: I had to upload a file as it ran over my character limit per message. I have marked out where to change the code with capital letters.

The workarounds: - Creating a website and adding a script that makes a request to ipapi and then passes that information to the Webchat which will make it available for your bot in the Studio. Check out this docs https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/channels/webchat/#send-user-data-from-your-website-to-botpress and this tutorial - Asking your user for their timezone and language. Consider that sometimes the IP doesn't match the user location 😉

Hope that helps
