How this automation works

Stay informed when your favorite apps release updates by automatically adding calendar events and receiving notifications. This Applet runs whenever a specified app receives a new version in the Apple App Store, creating an event in your iOS Calendar and sending a rich notification through the IFTTT app. Ideal for users who like to track app changes and never miss a new feature or update. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
