FAQ
1. Do I need an external API Key for this to work?
Yes. The JavaScript code in this template likely queries a currency exchange data provider (such as ExchangeRate-API, Open Exchange Rates, or Fixer.io). You will need to:
- Register for a free API key from a provider.
- Open the Automation tab and click on the JavaScript step.
- Replace the placeholder text (e.g.,
'YOUR_API_KEY') with your actual key.
2. Can I track specific currency pairs (e.g., USD to JPY)?
Yes. You can customize the currencies by editing the script. Look for the section in the code defining the base_currency (e.g., 'USD') and the target_currencies (e.g., ['EUR', 'GBP', 'CNY']). Simply change these codes to the specific currencies you wish to monitor.
3. Do I need to know how to code in JavaScript?
Not necessarily. The template comes with a pre-written script. You only need to perform simple text replacements (like pasting your API key or changing "EUR" to "JPY"). You do not need to write complex logic from scratch.
4. Can I change the update frequency?
The template is set to run daily at 10:00 AM by default. You can change this by clicking the "Scheduled Trigger" node in the automation workflow and selecting a different time or frequency (e.g., every hour or weekly) to suit your trading needs.
