Do Something When will give you the ipod trigger you seek...

Hey this is pretty cool. I made a similar one to this in automator that will get my new mail, and make event summaries from iCal, put it into text and then turn that into an audio file for my iPod. What I’m wondering is if there is anyway to tell automator WHEN to run certain actions? Are there system triggers available. i.e. WHEN iPod is detected by system, run this action. I could save it as an automator app and make it ‘run at login’ but that doesn’t help unless my iPod is always connected at login. I would like to just plug in the iPod, and it will go do the work for me, and then unplug the iPod. :)

I can’t seem to get this ti work, the second part of the workflow, ‘Get text from webpage,’ fails every time. I haven’t been able to get it to work in any of my workflows, has anyone experienced this before? Are there any knows cures?

Well , hopefully next week i will be releasing v2.0 that is much more powerful. Look forward to choosing the filename , the location , the audio encoder and also album art. Ie getting news from BBC then you can attach a BBC logo to hte audio file. I will also be adding a function that will detect Ipod or not. that way its fully automated.

I have provided the workflow and application. so you can either use it in Automator or Under OSX directly.
