IFTTT - aka FREE motorcycle notifications via text/email

Yo guys, I don't know how many of you have ever tried IFTTT before...but it's legit.

Basically it allows you to make the internet work for you. You create recipes based on a IF (fill in the blank) THEN (fill in the blank) formula. So say you could say IF I upload a YouTube video THEN post it to my blog. Get it? Good.

Now we can use this to our advantage:

I just made a recipe that will text me whenever there is a free motorcycle posted on craigslist, and I just got a text for one that will be at a garage sale tomorrow morning! WOOT, I'm going to go check it out and see if it's any good :D

If you go to their site and connect your phone you'll be able to use it. I made it so that it only will text me if there is a post with the words "free motorcycle" next to each other, so there are flaws. If you want, do one without the quotations, but then you might get a bunch of texts for posts that have free and motorcycle somewhere in them. Like 20,000 Motorcycle with a free used helmet or something like that haha. You could have it post to your facebook, or email you or even call you with an automated message. There's some sweet recipe ideas on there so make sure to browse around a bit!

Let me know what you think! If you make any other sweet recipes feel free to post em up!
 
Just made one for my current bike. If anything is posted on my local craigslist containing "CB200" it will text me.

sweet sounds like I need it ASAP....and you better be there early for that bike! LoL I just posted a Free Motorcycles are Everywhere Thread in Loungin' at the Club
 
How early do you think? I'm going at six, and they said they'll start at seven, is that too early haha?
 
So I got there at 6 and the lady came out at 7 when they opened. I go, "hey do you still have the motorcycle?" and the lady goes, "what motorcycle?"

...da HELL? She was like " I wish I had a motorcycle" I mentioned the ad and showed her it where it clearly said her address and 'free motorcycle needs work' she just laughed and said she didn't know anything about it. Weird... Later today though I got a text from IFTTT notifying me of another. Went and checked it out and it wasn't worth haulin even for parts.
