IFTTT could be nice but I'm having some problems using it even for a simple operation.
I want to do one simple thing, alert my wife when I'm near her office so she can get out without me sending messages or calling her while driving.
I've not yet find a way do do it:
first of all you can use the iOS Locations, but you can't combine two different "this", so I can't add, as I'd like, an additional condition on the time ("i'm near her office and it's between 5pm and 7pm"). Ok, I can't live without it, but it would be better to have two conditions.
On the other side ("that") I've tried:
SMS: you can't send to a number different than yours / you can only set one number for the SMS channel (with a PIN validation) / you can't have multiple SMS channels
Email: it seems you can only send an email to yourself
I could probably use Gmail (by reading info here and there it looks it could support multiple recipients) but I'd prefer not to configure my personal Gmail account on my company-controlled phone
Whatsapp: it is not supported as a channel (same for Hangouts afaik)
