IFTTT support

[Philipp]

And don’t forget this

Let's get Dynalist added on IFTTT!

It would be awesome to get Dynalist integrated with other services via IFTTT. So maybe if enough people suggest Dynalist as new service they will add it soon! ifttt.com -> Services -> Suggest a new service to IFTTT (bottom of the page).

Hi, the roadmap is still used to keep track of the vote counts. Trello is just not a good place for discussion.

I wonder if there’s a golden standard in this field. Is so, is it IFTTT or Zapier, or some other service?

I don’t think there’s a golden standard - every one needs something different - but for every service I’ve tried I’ve always come back to IFTTT.

Besides Zapier there’s Integromat (really cool, but free tier is limited) and Microsoft Flow (part of Office 365, if you can find it).

Just going by mentions online, IFTTT is twice as popular as Zapier:

Zapier’s strength is that it can work with services that do not explicitly have an IFTTT-like API.

I use IFTTT all the time and miss Dynalist as a service, being at the trigger or action level.

[Morgan_Newall]

But Zapier has more triggers and actions.

Also, a VERY IMPORTANT advantage of Zapier and an example of “more advanced” is that it is able to forward source URLS for systems like GMail and Evernote - contrary to IFTTT.

Was going to say the same. Many times I’ve tried to do something with IFTTT that it doesn’t support, Zapier supports a lot more, with a lot more actions.

[Jan_Hink]

If I’m not mistaken, both Zapier, IFTTT and Integromat support some sort of Webhooks and calling directly a REST API of any webservice. Exposing the Dynalist’s APIs would be enough.

Do people know this? How does anybody even discover the roadmap unless coming across a forum post like this

[pottster]

Time for a bit of dogfooding maybe

[Erica]

I think so, it’s in the footer section along with the forum:

[Alan]

Oh you mean at http://www.dynalist.io, which for me just shows me my list.

No Alan, here:

I’ve gotten IFTTT and Zapier to work. No such luck with integromat as of yet…

Yes, which page and link is VERY hard to find once you’ve logged in.

[Kenneth_Aar]

Agreed, you actually have to log out…

@Erica Could you please fix this? E.G. put it at the bottom of the help pages would be logical.

[Erica]

Sure, I added to our list, will fix as soon as we can.

[Justin_Maxwell]

Random thought - could a Google Assistant smart speaker use IFTTT or it’s ilk to integrate with Dynalist?
“Hey Google, add apples to my shopping dynalist”

[Kevin_Murray]

Yes, I do that.

[Justin_Maxwell]

Cool! I don’t suppose you could put together a rough how-to, or a few pointers?

[Kevin_Murray]

You will find discussion about this here: Send email to add items to Dynalist

Maybe it would be good to have a How To section in this forum where techniques like this could be shared.

[Erica]

Share & Showcase is currently the best place for this kind of resources, but I agree these gems are scattered across the entire forum right now.
