Exploring the benefits of IFTTT has been difficult given the limited nature that most of the services have exposed APIs and the "If this then that" Syntax of ifttt.  I'm not sure if the "services" have determined if they have totally bought in to the idea of interoperability honestly; all paths lead into services, but few lead out to anything worth while. Case and point:  Google Calendar Events.  I can instigate the creation of a calendar event by a Weather Underground forecast for Rain tomorrow.  But that's it.  Want a notification, want to edit that event, want to add people.  Good luck.  I know that capability exists, I have used it extensively in scripts that glued Google Spreadsheet and Calendar together beautifully.  It just hasn't been exposed to ifttt tomfoolery.

Here is our existing setup:
It requires several services because each has a different exposed data.  Biggest failure thus far?  Trello doesn't expose due dates of "cards" so I can script a daily digest that get's sent to Alexa (via it's Todoist connection).  The chart looks a little sparse at the moment, only because it's been laid out for the other "smart" automation projects that are coming online this spring, namely the irrigation timer and indoor/outdoor lighting solutions.
