Whoa, IFTTT really went crazy on this one! I took a look at the logs to see if maybe we were giving a response that made IFTTT think we hadn’t successfully added the datapoint or anything, but things look Kosher on our end… Yikes, though! I’ll clean up the data for you. ---

> [@brettrusnock](#): > > allow the integration to track the number of messages with any specified label OMG generalizing [GmailZero](http://gmailzero.com "That's right, we have the domain gmailzero.com") to any labels or set of labels (or regex defining a set of labels) would be pretty huge for me. I’m engaged in [elaborate hackery with Google Apps Script](https://github.com/beeminder/gminder "Also based on my GmailSnooze script"), based on @anomalily’s code, for lack of that feature now. (Me personally, I mean, beeminding my own inbox.) ---

The new Gmail REST api I think makes this pretty easy. Implementation-wise it’s mostly an issue of interface (for setting up / picking options). ---

Thanks for looking into it, Bethany. I did have a IFTTT recipe to send emails to the bot (that was before I discovered that there was a beta official integration) but I deleted it when I made the new recipe. Wonder why it’s still active. In any case, thanks for looking at it. If it happens again, I’ll contact IFTTT. 😄 ---

Thanks everyone who’s been publishing and telling us about it here! We just got the channel approved (hurrah!) but have a few more hoops to jump through marketing-wise. In particular we’ve got to personally publish\*\* at least 24 recipes… which really, why me personally? You all have much more creative use cases than me (and more services and gadgets). So I’m going to start going through [this list](https://ifttt.com/recipes/search?q=beeminder&ac=false) and stealing all your delightful ideas! 😛 ---

Oh, also we’re to pick our 6 favorite recipes to feature on the channel page, at [https://ifttt.com/beeminder](https://ifttt.com/beeminder), so if anyone has strong opinions we could vote or something. Actually, come to think of it since the Beeminder channel is still in pre-launch that channel page will only be visible if you’ve been invited to the beta and added the channel, so: All you forum goers are invited to do that by visiting [http://ifthisMindthat.com](http://ifthisMindthat.com) and activating the beeminder ifttt channel! ---

That’s because the channel is still secret. Only people who’ve gotten in on the beta – [ifthisMINDthat.com](http://ifthisMINDthat.com "shhhh") – can see it. ---

Agreed! Will add. Just added Todoist to the list too. Does it let you edit the list above? We made it a wiki but I’m not sure if it lets just anyone edit… Anyway, normal replies are fine too! ---

In case you’re still looking for examples, I just published a recipe I use to automatically count blog posts towards my blogging goal: > **[Count blog posts with Beeminder](https://ifttt.com/applets/286085p-count-blog-posts-with-beeminder)** > > This goal works well if you have a Beeminder goal to write a certain number of blog posts. Just publish a post and it will automatically count towards your goal! ---

> [@dreev](#): > > Daily writing in Dropbox → Beeminder I see this works with counting files in a dropbox folder. Any ideas on counting words? I have a Draft goal but i’m a not very good connection and often Draft goes offline which means you can’t write anything, which is a bit counter-productive. ---
