Add tasks using external triggers (weather, stocks…)
closed_account says:
Hi there, I'm taking advantage of a new site called "if this then that" (http://ifttt.com/ It's closed beta but I have some invites) to add RTM tasks triggered by various external sources, like for instance:
- If "Tomorrow's forecast calls for Rain" send me an email with the subject "Bag the umbrella ^today @Home #Personal !3"
- If "Price drops below $340 for APPL" send me an email with the subject "Buy Apple stock ^today #Personal !2"
- If "New bookmark tagged @to-do" send me an email with the subject "Visit {{Title}} #Personal ^today {{Url}}"
This it how it looks like: http://cl.ly/3R1X1S0n2L240z46121l
I obviously pick up those emails (in GMail using filters) and route them to my RTM Import Email Address where they're added using Smart Add magic (http://www.rememberthemilk.com/services/email/#inbox). I expect they'll incorporate RTM as one of their official Channels in the near future, but for the time being I'm very satisfied with the results of this tip :)
Cheers!

I should've said: I'm not affiliated in any way to ifttt.com, I just find the RTM combo really useful.
