Getting the Most out of Foursquare Automation
A few years ago when you thought about location based, checkin services there were a host of apps you could use. Today, Foursquare seems to be the clear cut winner.
Foursquare gives you the power to discover and share great places with friends. You can easily take pictures of the places you've been, get deals for checking in from local merchants, and have fun doing it. But there's also quite a bit you can do with Foursquare to automate your work and life.
Today we are announcing the Zapier integration with Foursquare. Foursquare already has a large library of add-ons, but many of them are consumer focused. When it comes to getting work done and being productive, Zapier has your back.
Some cool Zaps already in use include:
- Selectively post your Foursquare checkins to your HipChat team room
- Send funds to a vendor via Dwolla when you checkin
- Selectively post to Yammer when you checkin to Foursquare venues
- Track Foursquare checkins in Google Calendar to record when and where you've been
Check out some more Zaps on the Foursquare page.
