@zedmango you may be interested in IFTTT’s javascript functionality. It lets you create nearly any filter at all. There isn’t a good tutorial yet, but there’s some discussion here:

Any change of getting a DATE[] macro? That would take “March 11, 2020” and turn it into a beeminder-readable date?

I wonder if this gist would be helpful to you, at least as inspiration for your particular case

Hi all, I just discovered this post and want to thank y’all for making the macros. Any chance there will be one in the near future to handle **numbers with commas** within them eg. 1,231,532 points? I have an IFTTT applet fetching my new points from a site everyday, but the macro NUM only grabs digits before the first comma (eg returning just 1), so it’s not updating the correct value to Beeminder 😿

> but I finnaly found a solution to convert seconds to minutes without it.

I’m curious how you were able to do that? I tried _PROD[{{Value}} 1/60]_ but Beeminder instead does Value\*1\*60. I had to do _PROD[{{Value}} 0.01666]_ instead but the output is not very accurate of course.

Any other ideas?
