Thanks, Owen. Huginn looks great! I use both IFTTT and Zapier, but the 
need for others to host my service bus 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_service_bus> was still 
nagging. Zapier has a limited free service, but does allow webhooks.

I have looked at and tested Apache Camel (with ServiceMix), but that is 
even more overkill for this use case and it doesn't have such a nice web 
interface.
