Same story, despite all the praise. It just never had sufficient capabilities to actually do things I wanted to automate. Every time I needed something, when I remember about IFTTT and decide to give them a try, it ends up with "nah, they're as useless as ever". Even webhook channels the article recommends are limited, so e.g. outputs for many APIs are just not possible (for example, no way to pass an auth token in headers, let alone refresh it). On the other hand, anacron + python + requests + lxml (or beautifulsoup when they've improved) + other nice libraries have never failed me.
