It's not a lot, but we're working on it.\n\nI've mapped out the [Marvel Cinematic\nUniverse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe) movies\nfor us to watch, and it's OK, but there wasn't a easy way to link into the\niTunes store from the list.\n\nI decided that I could probably use [Workflow](https://appsto.re/us/2IzJ2.i)\nto do this, but I hadn't really worked with it to do it, but today I had a bit\nof time and figured, \"what they heck ... why not?\"\n\nMy initial attempt was clunky. It required to workflows to accomplish what I\nneeded. This was because I had to split the work of\n[Workflow](https://appsto.re/us/2IzJ2.i) into 2 workflows:\n\n  * Get the Name\n  * Get the Link\n\nTurns out there's a much easier way, so I'll post the link to that workflow,\nand not the workflows that are much harder to use!\n\nThe workflow [Add Movie to\nWatch](https://workflow.is/workflows/66f269ed34cb42469df4de8dcb7739e7) accepts\n`iTunes products`. The workflow then does the following:\n\n  * It saves the `iTunes products` URL as a variable called `iTunes`\n  * It then gets the `iTunes` variable to retrieve the `Name` and sets the value to a variable called `Movie`\n  * Next it asks 'Who is the movie being added by?' This is important for my family as we want a common list, but it's also good to know who added the movie!\n  * This value is saved to a variable called `User`\n  * Finally, I want to know when the movie was added so I get the current date.\n\nWe take all of the items and construct a bit of `text` that looks like this:\n\n`[{Movie}]({iTunes}) - Added on {Input} by {User}`\n\nWhere each of the words above surrounded by the {} are the variable names\npreviously mentioned ({Input} is from the get current date and doesn't need to\nbe saved to a variable).\n\nIn my last step I take this text and append it to a file in Dropbox called\n`Movies to Watch.md`.\n\nIt took **way** longer than I would have liked to finish this up, but at the\nend of the day, I'm glad that I was able to get it done.\n\n", "2016-11-28", "keeping-track-of-which-movies-i-want-to-watch", "One thing I like to do with my family is watch movies.
