IFTTT, the popular web automation platform, has two new Apple-supported applets launching today: iOS Calendar and the App Store.
Both of these new applets feature recipes created by IFTTT. These include several recipes prominently featuring integrations with Apple’s competitors, such as recipes that enable creating an iOS Calendar event using Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
The applet for iOS Calendar works as you would expect, with triggers such as:
- New event added to any calendar
- New event added to specific calendar
- New event added from search
The latter of these is the most interesting. It allows your trigger to fire whenever a new event contains a specific keyword or phrase. Searches for keywords look into an event’s title, location, notes, and invitees, making this a great option when crafting recipes with a deep level of specificity.
The App Store applet features a variety of interesting triggers, including:
- New top ten app in a category
- New app from search
- New app featured in a collection
- Top ten app goes on sale
- App price dropped
- App version updated
IFTTT is available on the App Store.
