How this automation works

Stay informed when your favorite running shoes reach their mileage limit. This Applet runs whenever a selected pair of shoes in Strava goes over the distance threshold you set, then sends you both an email and an SMS alert. Perfect for runners who want to track gear usage and get timely reminders to replace worn-out footwear.
