4 Ways To Work From Home With IFTTT
4 Ways To Work From Home With IFTTT
IFTTT Pro allows you to do some incredible things, including the ability to trigger multiple actions at once, run faster applets, and even create some filter code with javascript to add in multiple conditions to your applets.
This can allow us to work from home and to create some really unique experiences. Today, I'm going to show you how to save ideas in lists, prepare your home office space before your meetings start, notify people in your home that you're working, and create an alarm clock that wakes you up ONLY when you need it. Yes, that's right...I will show you how to make a variable #alarm #clock.
All of this, the scripts, and more are available in today's video about #IFTTT, their Pro service, and their new scripting capability.
