IFTTT

Your enneagram type says a lot about how you work, and it can point you straight to the automations that fit. Let's break it down: ✅ The reformer: Wants order above all else. Completed Todoist tasks roll into a weekly email digest automatically, so progress is visible without anyone having to track it by hand. 🤝 The helper: Is watching out for everyone else before themselves. A Google Calendar event with a specific keyword triggers an email reminder, so birthdays and check-ins still get remembered while they're busy looking after others. 🎯 The achiever: Runs on momentum and hates when things sit in two places. New Google Calendar events get added straight to a Notion to-do list, so one calendar entry is all it takes. 🧘 The peacemaker: Wants calm, not more to manage. A daily notification nudges them to meditate, small and steady instead of one more task on the list. See all nine types and their Applets here: https://lnkd.in/gC-5rxdC 

Your inbox just got CC'd on some good news: 20 new triggers, queries, and actions hit Gmail on IFTTT! This has been one of our top-requested additions for years.   Gmail can now monitor your inbox, watch conversations, sort labels, and draft replies too. Here are a few ways people are already using it: 💬 Keep certain emails out of your inbox entirely: match them to a saved search, and send them to Telegram instead 🧾 Invoices, tracked without opening a single email: a saved search logs each one to a spreadsheet automatically 🏷️ Stop dragging emails into folders yourself: save a search once, and Gmail applies the label for you ✅ Turn starred emails into a to-do list: star one, and it lands in Google Tasks automatically Put Gmail to work across your other apps here: https://ifttt.com/gmail

We asked people on Reddit how they'd automate their day if they could, and the answers were a lot more specific than "make my life easier." 💭 One person wanted their smart bulbs to react to the weather automatically. A developer wanted GitHub issues landing in Slack the second they opened. Someone else wanted rain in the forecast in their inbox before 7AM, so they'd actually plan around it. None of these were complicated asks. They were just small, repeatable moments that make up more of the day than people realize.

Everyone's using AI now, but how you prompt gives us clues about how you should automate. Some people type a sentence and hit enter. Others give AI the background, the context, the examples, and probably a few notes for good measure. ✍️ The one-liner: Their prompt is basically the question and nothing else. "Summarize." "Fix this." "Write an email." They trust AI to figure out the rest. 📝 The over-explainer: Three paragraphs of context, a list of requirements, a few examples, and then finally the actual question. They know exactly what they want, and they're making sure AI knows too. ⚙️ The systems architect: Doesn't just use AI. They build a system around it. Prompts get saved, workflows get connected, and somehow the whole thing is running without much manual work. Whichever one sounds like you, we've got a next Applet worth trying too.

ŌURA Ring tracks your sleep every night, but most people never look past the score on the app. Put your Oura score to work with IFTTT. A few ways people are already doing it: 😴 Sleep falls below your threshold, and the morning after gets a recovery buffer auto-blocked on your calendar, starting 30 minutes after you wake up  📉 A genuinely good night's sleep flags itself as a high-priority day in Todoist, so you notice when you're actually running at full capacity 📧 Your readiness score comes in each morning, and it's emailed to you the moment it's calculated, so you know how to plan the day before your first coffee See the rest of the Oura Ring Applets here: https://lnkd.in/gfh7SNts

Anthropic Claude answers questions when you ask.

Notion's great as a home base, but most people still end up copying things into it by hand from wherever the task actually started. A few ways IFTTT skips that step: ⏰ A reminder gets added in iOS Reminders, and it shows up on your Notion to-do list automatically 🔀 A Trello card gets assigned to you, and it becomes a Notion to-do on its own 📌 An Asana task gets assigned to you, and it lands in Notion too, no need to check both apps to know what's actually on your plate Notion ends up being the one place you have to check, not one more app to keep updated.

Your calendar has one job, and somehow it still lets you double-book yourself on a Tuesday. It's not really the calendar's fault. It won't sync itself between your iPhone and Google, and it definitely won't remind you it's your dad's birthday until it's already 9PM. A few automations fix most of that. 🔄 Sync events across iOS, Google, and Microsoft 365 so you enter something once and it shows up everywhere, no more manually copying the same event into three apps. ⏰ Get a push notification a set number of minutes before any Google Calendar event starts, so you actually have time to close the laptop and leave. 🔇 Let your Android phone mute itself automatically the moment a meeting starts, since you will absolutely forget to do it yourself. 🌦️ Add the daily forecast straight to your calendar so you know it's raining before you've committed to walking somewhere.

Everyone's got a stack now: an AI for thinking, a newsletter platform for writing, a notes app for capturing, plus a dozen other tools opened back in January with good intentions. 🧱 The tools aren't the problem. The gaps between them are. Here's what closing those gaps actually looks like: Your AI outputs stop disappearing. A Google's Gemini response saved straight to Google Drive, or a Anthropic's Claude summary emailed to you the moment a new Google Doc goes up. The good answers stick around instead of vanishing the second you close the tab. Your content does its own PR. A new Substack post goes out to X (Twitter) and LinkedIn automatically, so publishing doesn't turn into a second job of telling people about it. Your side project gets a real workflow. New GitHub PRs and Cursor agent updates post straight to Slack, so the "did you see this PR?" messages stop eating into the time you actually have to build. Even the fun stuff gets covered. Steam achievements announce themselves in Discord, so your squad sees the win without you having to say a word. None of this needs a complicated setup, just a trigger and an action.

Your desk is telling on you. 🖥️ Whether it's spotless or buried under a "system" only you understand, the way you've set up your workspace says a lot about how you actually think, not how a productivity guide thinks you should. We matched a few of the most common desk types to the automations people with that setup actually reach for. 🧘 The blank slate: Nothing on the desk but a laptop and a plant that's somehow still alive. Their Google Calendar events roll into a weekly email digest instead of constant pings, and their phone mutes itself automatically during deep work. 📝 The sticky note wall: If it's not visible, it doesn't exist. Their Notion to-do list pulls straight from Google Calendar, and Fireflies.ai drops meeting transcripts into Notion the moment a call ends, so nothing has to be remembered on paper. 💻 The laptop-only nomad: No fixed desk, just good Wi-Fi and decent light. A new Substack post shares itself to LinkedIn automatically, and new iOS photos back up to Google Drive without needing to be near a specific machine. Which one's yours?
