How this automation works
Keep track of every episode you’ve watched automatically. Each time you mark a new episode as watched on Trakt, it’s appended to a text file on Dropbox and you receive a rich notification on your device. This is ideal for TV fans who want to log viewing history while staying updated across devices. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
