How this automation works

Share your adventures with music by uploading a track each time you check in on Foursquare with a specific hashtag. This Applet runs when you check in and include a chosen tag, then automatically uploads a public SoundCloud track with custom details. Ideal for bloggers, travelers, or creators who share location-based audio content across platforms. Note: This requires installation of both the Foursquare and SoundCloud services.
