If This Then That (IFTTT), one of our favorite automation services, introduced support for both the iOS Calendar and App Store today. That means you can do cool things like add events to your iPhone calendar from Alexa, integrate weather reports, and more.




The new integration gives you a slew of new cards in Calendar. Some of my favorites aside from the Alexa integration include adding Fitbit logs, tracking work hours based on location, and a tool to automate Do Not Disturb. The App Store also gets some tools, like notifications for specific app types, notifications for updates, or even better, emails when the price of an app drops. If you’ve been using the iOS Calendar app or you just use the iCloud backbone with another third-party calendar, this is a great little addition.
