This week IFTTT introduced a Pro plan. I’m trying out Pro for a month and must admit that the new JavaScript filters are a welcome addition:
However, while IFTTT Pro is currently affordable with the “Set your price” $1.99/month, it looks like they want to charge $9.99/month after the first year - which is too much for me.
Almost all my IFTTT Applets have an RSS feed as the trigger and a Remember The Milk action as output.
How can I execute JavaScript on new RSS entries (for several feeds) using a Raspberry Pi?
Maybe I can write a small Node server (in JavaScript) to replace IFTTT (Pro)?
I have some JavaScript/Node.js experience, but have no idea whether this is a good idea…
(I might benefit from the fact that I already have written a minimal JavaScript module that can add RTM projects/tasks in Scriptable)
FWIW, I’ve done a few things with it in the past, but always ended up back on utilising free options on web automation solution or another when I found a way to do it there. It was always pretty solid, but often difficult to debug to get things just right on the bits I was doing at the time.
Maybe take a look at glitch.com. It’s been on my to look at list for a few years but I’ve not had anything yet that seemed to require it. You can run things standalone but also in combination with IFTTT - at least there are numerous glitch community examples of such integrations. Perhaps it could do your JS logic?
