IFTTT Updated With Actions for iOS Photos and Reminders

[MacRumors]

Popular web service IFTTT has updated its app to version 1.2.0, introducing new actions for iOS Photos and Reminders. IFTTT is designed to allow customers to connect and combine different apps and services like Facebook, Evernote, Dropbox, and more, to create automated "recipes" using "if this then that" protocols.

With the new update, recipes can incorporate both Apple's Photos app and its Reminders app, allowing users to perform actions like automatically saving liked Instagram photos to an iPhone photo album or emailing a to-do list of tasks stored within the Reminders app.

In addition to support for Reminders and iPhone albums, the app also includes a new Feedback button, improved background sync for devices running iOS 7, and new swipe gestures.

iOS Recipes just got a lot more powerful. Now IFTTT can add photos directly to your iPhone albums and create new to-do's in Reminders!

- Introducing Actions for iOS Photos and Reminders
- New Feedback button in your Settings
- Vastly improved background sync for iOS 7
- Beautified your feed just a touch
- Added swipe gestures for iOS 7
- Kicking bugs and taking names

IFTTT currently supports 72 different "Channels," including various apps and web services. Channels can be combined in hundreds of ways with the new Reminders and Photo app integration, allowing for countless different recipes.

IFTTT can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

Why haven't I been using this!?!

The iOS photo -> dropbox is such a great recipe. Never have to worry about losing the pics on your phone!

I really want to use this feature to turn on my wemo controlled lights when I arrive home. If they could just make it activate when a location based reminder notification pops up.

Great With Hue

I just started using IFTTT and it is awesome. I have been using it mainly with my Philips HUE light system, but also to alert me of some other things. I especially like receiving a text if it is going to rain or having the lights in my house changed to red and gold if a 49er game is about to start.

HUE has this feature built into its App... Just sayin

To do my living room with hue lights it would cost $1200. As opposed to wemo switches which cost $100-150. Just sayin.

If: screenshot taken
Then: add photo to album [screenshots]

But it won't let me save

Hey !

Did you know the Dropbox app has this functionality built in ?

It means every photo you take gets backed up .

Kind of like a camera roll independent of apple

You could also use Dropbox's Camera Uploads feature. Free 3GB with it, too.

I'm not sure if the IFTTT one is, but the Dropbox one isn't necessarily instantaneous--you basically have to launch the app and/or go back to it every so often and/or change your location for it to do it at least somewhat regularly (although still not right away in a lot of cases).

I use Camera Uploads in Dropbox. I generally have to be on Wi-Fi and open up the app to start the sync of photos from the camera roll, so it might be worth it to use IFTTT instead if it's a simpler process. I haven't checked it out though, I'm still mostly just using IFTTT with my Hue lights.

I have read the bullet points and i completely agree with you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your article shows tells me you must have a lot of background in this topic.
Some writers make it difficult to understand the point they’re trying to get across. You, the other hand have made your points clear, concise and interesting.
