I have tried it out for various things but the one I rely on most is "call and leave a message then get that message emailed to me" I ONLY use this feature for logging my work tasks and client visits throughout the day. Basically I always forget to record my time spent at various locations or when I do extra work outside of scheduled hours. I have ifttt as a contact in my phone named Bender. When I'm in my car going to/from client visits I can tell my phone "Call Bender" and I tell Bender what I'm up to, and anything I might want to note about times, mileage, etc. Hugely useful fallback for me so that at the end of the month I search my email for "voice memo" and I can process everything I haven't already captured. Especially when I have to run around putting out fires in multiple places I can easily forget exactly what I did and in what order.
- Pamar 10y agoMaybe you could try Moves (https://www.moves-app.com https://www.moves-app.com) to help with that? I use it to log when I arrive and leave my office and it could easily handle multiple clients/locations.
- gideonparanoid 10y agoI can vouch for Moves, used it a lot before Facebook bought it. Similar to Google's location history.
- oddlyaromatic 10y agoThat looks good, thanks for the info. I remember trying a bunch of geofences with ifttt to try and do something similar. It was a little hit and miss. Recently I switched to windows phone and that limits my app selection in a major way for stuff like this running in the background. Part of why I was OK with the switch was that my main use of ifttt doesn't need an app. I think I'll be back to an iPhone next year and moves might be the way to go.
