Level 5* gazumped 12,054 Posted March 4, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted March 4, 2015 In a move that I'd guess will please GTD fans and many others, IFTTT has changed its name to IF (what - the original name was too hard to spell?) and has introduced three new apps for iOS and 'Droid - Do Button, Do Note and Do Camera all of which (it seems to me) "do" pretty much the same thing; connect your icon to an IF(TTT) recipe which takes an action / a picture / creates a note any of which can be related to Evernote, or any other app or device you can control from your phone. Now being devoutly lazy I can already imagine one non-Evernote use for this. I can control my DSLR camera from my smartphone - provided I remember to disconnect wifi, start the app and connect to the camera; actions which usually require some inventive vulgarity before I manage to complete everything in the right order, under some time pressure, without dropping anything expensive. If IF can 'do' any part of this with a tap I'll be a happy(er) person, not least because I managed to -vaguely- pun that particular comment. It will also mean that I can add a pic to Evernote, save a 'to-do' and jump to a note without too much effort. Some of that is possible through Evernote's existing widgets, but I'd like to see if IF might be able to DO it quicker and more easily. Sorry. I'll stop now. http://blog.ifttt.com/post/111467477713/introducing-do-a-new-class-of-apps-by-ifttt Link to comment
Morticia 193 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've been using Do Button since the release. I love it! IF Do Button log And here my shared note with my most used recipehttps://www.evernote.com/shard/s258/sh/70cad89f-0caa-4a73-aeac-07312b43206b/d2f8fb88e75feae0 Link to comment
sibaroochi 1 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 You mentioned GTD... How do I use IFTTT to launch a specific evernote note on my phone every time I arrive at a location? This would notify me of my To do list that is specific to home or work. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,054 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Level 5* Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hi. AFAIK IFTTT isn't location aware, but other apps are - search "location aware reminders Android" (without the quotes and with your OS of choice) for some suggestions. Some of them may overlap with IFTTT and Evernote, or the app may be sufficient on its own. Link to comment

I will put your response in my evernote and tag it "gentleman and a scholar" Link to comment
