I don’t know if you have run into this situation or not, but when I am browsing the internet or something important on my phone and I need to remember it. I normally take a screenshot of it, which sounds excellent in principal however I tend to send it to myself. Which defeats the whole purpose of taking the screenshot.

I needed to do something better, maybe something that would email me the image that I just took but automatically so that way I do not have to send it to me manually.

Naturally I did some soul searching in my ecosystem, and found out that IFTTT allows me to do exactly what I was looking to do. So created the following rule: whenever I take a screenshot from my phone send me that image as an email.

Rule for sending screenshots via email

Now I will not forget the important stuff.
