Will IFTTT have traffic triggers in the future? I've been wanting a way to get traffic alerts before leaving work for years. I've found a few places that offer it, but nothing has been reliable.

In a perfect world I'd tie traffic conditions to when my alarm clock wakes me up!




I've worked around this by setting a reoccurring meeting to go home with my address in Google Calendar, my phone tells me beforehand when I need to leave in order to get home on time. I don't know if it includes traffic in its estimates but I've never been late (give or take a couple minutes).


Doesn't Google Now sort of offer that functionality (I take the train so it doesn't tell me that but it always tells me the distance to home/some event/work)


You could write your own traffic RSS feed and use that as a trigger.
