New services get most of the attention, but some of the most useful updates are the ones that go deeper into tools you're already using. This month we added new triggers, queries, and actions across six services: Splitwise, Coinbase, Shortcut, Steam, Clockify, and Kit. Here's what's new and what you can do with it.
Splitwise
Splitwise is how a lot of people track shared expenses, whether it's rent, a group trip, or the running tab with a roommate. The new additions cover the full picture of what's happening in your account.
On the query side, you can now pull your account details, list your friends, list your groups, get details for a specific group, and fetch all expenses involving you. That means you can build Applets that surface your Splitwise data on demand: drop your outstanding balances into a spreadsheet, pull a group's expense history into a report, or query your friends list to keep things in sync with another app.
On the trigger side, two new options let you react to activity as it happens. New expense added by someone fires whenever someone adds an expense to a shared group, so you're never the last to know about a charge. New settle up payment fires when a payment is recorded, which is useful for logging settlements or sending a confirmation somewhere automatically.
Rounding it out, the create group action lets you spin up a new Splitwise group from any trigger in your stack.
Coinbase
Coinbase is one of the most widely used crypto exchanges, and now it has two new triggers for anyone keeping an eye on prices. Cryptocurrency price rises above fires when an asset crosses a threshold you set, and cryptocurrency price drops below fires when it falls under one. Route the alert to a Slack message, a phone notification, a spreadsheet log, or anything else that can receive an IFTTT action.
Shortcut
Shortcut is the project management tool built for software teams, and the new additions make it a lot more useful as a data source and an automation target.
On the query side, you can now list iterations, list epics, list workflows and states, list team members, find a story by search, and get a specific story by ID. That's a solid foundation for building read-only Applets that surface Shortcut data elsewhere: generate a weekly summary, pull your team's active iteration into a doc, or look up story details to pass into another workflow.
On the action side, you can now update a story's state, add a comment to a story, and create a new epic. Combined with the query capabilities, you can build closed-loop workflows: find a story, check its state, update it, and notify the team, all in one Applet.
Steam
Steam is Valve's PC gaming platform and home to one of the largest game libraries in the world, and it now has two new queries. Get my Steam profile pulls your public profile data, and get my wishlist returns the games currently on your wishlist. Both are useful as data sources for building automations around your Steam account: log wishlist changes, track your profile, or use your Steam data as an ingredient in a broader workflow.
Clockify
Clockify is a time tracking tool used by freelancers and teams to log hours across projects and clients, and it got the most additions this month across all three types.
On the trigger side, Timer started fires the moment you kick off a new timer, and new project created, new task created, and new client created each fire when those objects are added to your workspace. That means you can react to what's happening in Clockify in real time: log a new timer to a spreadsheet the moment it starts, notify a channel when a new project lands, or kick off an onboarding workflow when a new client is created.
On the query side, find the running timer returns whatever timer is currently active, so you can use your current time-tracking status as a condition or data source in other Applets.
On the action side, create a tag, create a client, and create a task let you add new objects to your Clockify workspace from any trigger. Stop all running timers lets you cut everything off at once, which is handy as the last step in an end-of-day routine or a meeting-start workflow.
Kit
Kit, formerly ConvertKit, is the email marketing platform built for creators. Two new actions this month. Add subscriber to sequence enrolls a contact into an automated email sequence, and remove tags from subscriber clears tags from a contact's profile. Both are the kind of fine-grained subscriber management actions that let you keep your Kit audience in sync with what's happening everywhere else: someone completes a purchase and gets added to an onboarding sequence, a contact unsubscribes from something and gets their tags cleaned up automatically.
