I wanted to know if there is a solution that is available to grab the lat/long of a Survey123 submission and populate it as a location for "Get Current Weather"? I tried this and was unsuccessful in accomplishing the attempted output. I believe their is a workflow in Integromat but I wanted to see if there was a workflow in MS Flow.

Hi. You got it, almost! The MSN Get Weather Flow app wants you to pass first the latitude (Y) and then the logitude (X) separated by a space. Other than that, you got it right!  Below you have the full process step by step.  You can click on the animation to make it bigger.

I can get this far in setting up the web hook to get the weather.  How do I get the weather attributes I need into the Survey123 table.  For example, I just want the temperature and conditions to auto populate when someone submits a survey.

Thanks,

Charles

Good question. Was just wondering that myself.  I understand how to set up the Get Current Weather action with this thread, but how can I see that information in the survey record?

Hi Charles,

I am trying to accomplish the same action that you posted about setting up the web hook to get the capture the current weather condition on a survey. Did you got it to work? Do you have any suggestions on how to accomplish this task?

Thanks,

JB

Sorry for late response.  I wound up not going the webhook route.  We ended up using a Weather.json file.  In the Survey123, in the calculation field, we had to configure getting XY map location, then using the map coordinate to have the json pull the current weather and temperature.

You have to register with the weather service (it is free) to receive the .json file.  If you need specifics to the service we used, please let me know.

Thanks,

Charles

We registered and received an API key through OpenWeather.  You will need to configure fields in Survey123 form.

If you could send me your contact information, I can walk you through it.
