How this automation works

Stay updated when you arrive at or leave key places. This Applet runs whenever your phone detects that you’ve entered or exited a specific geographic area and instantly sends a Boxcar 2 notification. It’s ideal for tracking comings and goings, such as home, work, or school locations. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
