How this automation works

Keep track of when you enter or leave a specific area automatically in your iOS Calendar and get notified through Email or Telegram. This Applet runs whenever your device detects that you've entered or exited a chosen location, adding a calendar event and sending you an update. It's perfect for logging work hours, site visits, or routine check-ins; customize the message to fit your tone.
