Can I create multiple e-mail channels in If This Then That?

Question

I've just been sent a link to If This Then That and it looks like it might be very useful.

You have various "channels" for the "this" and "that" actions, one of them being e-mail. So you can set up a recipe that states:

If it's going to rain tomorrow send me an e-mail.

Now I have various e-mail accounts and addresses so what I'd like is to set up multiple e-mail channels.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Looks like there's a channel for GMail that you can setup in addition to using the email address associated with your account.

You could probably send the notification to a GMail account and use that to do some filtering and routing of the messages for you.

Answer 2

With GMail action you can choose any to: field, that is, send e-mail to anybody (so you might consider creating GMail account just for IFTTT).

Unfortunately there is no way to register multiple e-mail channels to receive mail from multiple e-mail addresses, but you can use labels (or search) in GMail or tags in mail trigger to trigger different actions. You might be able to "cheat" by registering one GMail address + another e-mail address and then receive triggers from another e-mail address, but I haven't tried that.

So basically, you need GMail to send e-mail to others, and you can't trigger by e-mail from more than one (or maybe two) e-mail accounts.
