IFTTT today announced its new Nike+ Channel, which lets fitness fanatics automate tasks tied to their Nike+ Running or Nike+ FuelBand apps.
These apps already boast some sharing options, but with IFTTT’s recipes you can automatically log NikeFuel activity in a Google Drive spreadsheet, or have your Philips Hue lights turn green when you’ve reached your daily target.
It’s a small step, but an important one as the walled-garden of every fitness tracker and fitness app slowly comes down. Apple’s Healthkit and Google Fit will hopefully make your personal health data more useful, but in the meantime – services such as IFTTT are useful for handling the basics.
