It looks cool superficially -

But I'm damned if I can find a way to get it to:

a) TRIGGER on a JSON web API or anything vaguely generic;

b) DO a JSON API or even a generic (authenticated) HTTP GET.

Right now all it seems to do is let you do silly stuff like "IF 
weather=Raining THEN DO post a tweet".


Am I missing something or is it just a load of daft old bollocks?
