Thanks, Owen. Huginn looks great! I use both IFTTT and Zapier, but the need for others to host my service bus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_service_bus> was still nagging. Zapier has a limited free service, but does allow webhooks.

I have looked at and tested Apache Camel (with ServiceMix), but that is even more overkill for this use case and it doesn't have such a nice web interface.

As noted by Tara, when using IFTTT (or similar tools like Bip.io and WappWolf) you are limited to the channels/services the tool has already integrated. You are also in the position of having to give a third party service access to personal information and the ability to read/write certain services.

I was investigating these types of services very briefly for a recent workshop and I came across an open source alternative called Huginn which you can run on your own server and of course can extend to work with whatever services/channels you want. I thought it looked interesting - available from https://github.com/cantino/huginn

Overkill for this particular problem but may be of more general interest
