NOTE: Not to be confused with an official Automatic (Driving Assistant) OSX App. It's just a command line interface (Terminal Notifier by alloy) to display OSX push notifications, wrapped in an app bundle and nice icon; for use with OSX Notification Center.
Assuming you've already read all the excruciating detail on the README, this is what you can do with OSX Notifications and this release! Feel free to expand from here if you have ideas for more notifications.
What's in the Box?
- Automatic.app
- automatic.icns (512px x 512px)
- Hazel.rules
- Parking Location Reminder
- Trips Completed
- Check Engine Light

Hazel Rules
NOTE:I should mention that I have set up Hazel for these rules to always display the most recent trigger. The only way we can use Hazel to do this is to organize each file into their own separate folder (labeled "Today" for example) and then execute the shell script on that folder only by adding a rule "Date Created is among the 1 most recent". If you set this rule on the main root folder it will trigger the rule on every file in that folders contents, not just the items you specify. Stupid, I know. Hopefully Hazel gets an update on that soon.

NOTE: Hazel rules included in the releases can include a 'utility rule' that I clearly outlined for myself. These rules are always labeled with 3 slashed before and after like so: /// Trash Files ///. These are optional, but work to cleanup your Automatic directory and organize the downloaded files from IFTTT. Utility rules can sometimes be necessary for running the rest of the rules under them. Common examples of these rules are always labeled similarly to: /// These Subfolders ///. Some of these might be required to use my pre-built rules. Check the note icon included with the rule for more information on the conditions and actions. I know, it's sickening; I'm that organized.
