Anything that emails can feed your Bot inbox
Workouts, receipts, and bank alerts live in other apps — your Bot never sees them.
What hurt
@BotDirectoryAI tip (setup credit @nazirulhafiy): anything that can send email can feed your Grok Bot. Pattern: Strava logs a workout → IFTTT emails the summary to the Bot inbox → Bot logs it and keeps a monthly count. Same pipe works for receipts, bank alerts, or smart home events. Tip only (no invented prompt). Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Event source → IFTTT (or similar) email → Bot inbox → log + monthly count.

Optional
Routines
On each inbound feed email: log the event and keep a monthly count.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/BotDirectoryAI/status/2118134278253138138 (credit @BotDirectoryAI; setup @nazirulhafiy).
- 2Give your Grok Bot an inbox address it can read.
- 3In IFTTT (or similar), email one event source — start with Strava workout summaries — to that inbox.
- 4Tell the Bot: on each such mail, log the event and keep a monthly count; change nothing else.
- 5Reuse the same pipe for receipts, bank alerts, or smart home events once the first source works.
Approval fence
Log inbound mail only — never send email, spend, or connect a new paid automation without your yes.
What to tweak
Steal the email-as-pipe pattern; one inbox rule covers many apps.
