Share your check-ins with a family member via email
Automatically share your whereabouts with loved ones via email and bring peace of mind.
Keeping family members updated about your whereabouts can be tedious and easy to forget, especially when you're busy or on the go. Manually sharing every Foursquare check-in by composing an email for each stop quickly becomes a repetitive chore, leading to missed updates and unnecessary worry for your loved ones if you forget or skip a location.
This Botize formula automatically monitors your Foursquare account and, every hour, retrieves new check-ins and sends an informative email (with location, photos, and maps) directly to your chosen recipient. By eliminating the repetitive manual steps, you gain peace of mind knowing your family always has up-to-date information—no more frantic texting, copying, or missed messages. You can also adjust the frequency to fit your rhythms, ensuring you’re neither oversharing nor under-communicating.
Let’s walk through how to set up and personalize this solution in Botize—it's just a few clicks to automate your updates and build more trust with your family. Prefer an instant start? Use this formula ready-made and tweak any detail you want. Give your loved ones the visibility they deserve and regain your own peace of mind today!
