I am in love with IFTTT's Do apps. The UX is purely phenomenon and has become part of my daily life. I hope they keep up these types of projects!

I really wish I had the ability to:

1. Call out any remote API.

2. Schedule a task to run at a certain time of day.

Basically, I want cron with workflow and recipes.

I want their Channel Platform to come out so badly. Being able to hook any service into IFTTT would be incredibly powerful/useful

Have you seen the Maker channel? https://ifttt.com/maker

That combined with the Date & Time channel would probably do a lot of what you want.

If you haven't looked recently, they now have incoming and outgoing web requests:

How does this handle authenticated requests?

For example, does it store OAuth tokens and refresh on your behalf?

The Maker Channel Action doesn't support authenticated requests, at least anything beyond something you could send in the URL or body of the message. We do this to prevent people from using it to spoof requests to public authenticated services that might view such behavior as slightly "shady". The Maker Channel is really meant for prototyping and experimenting and so we've limited the capabilities to keep the uses in that realm. Hope that helps!
