Zapier, Pipedream, IFTTT

Automation platforms can watch NewTwos for changes and write into it.

Before you start#

• An account with the platform
• A NewTwos API key. See API keys and scopes

What NewTwos offers#

Triggers, which start an automation when something happens here:

• A new thing
• A new list
• A thing completed
• A new reminder

Actions, which the automation performs here:

• Create, update, delete or complete a thing
• Create a list
• Set a reminder
• Find a list

Which platform#

Zapier has the most connections and is the easiest to start with.

Pipedream is better if you want to write a little code in the middle of a workflow.

IFTTT is the simplest and the most limited.

Good uses#

• Saving starred emails as things
• Adding a thing when a form is submitted
• Logging completed to-dos to a spreadsheet
• Creating a list when a project starts somewhere else

Tips#

• Start with one automation and watch it for a week before building three more.
• Use auto-tagging or a dedicated list so automated things are separable from your own. See auto-tagging by source.
