IFTTT & Facebook/Craigslist

Hey BP, has anybody ever used IFTTT to generate leads from Craigslist and Facebook market place? I am having difficulty setting up a notification for specific houses with keywords. When I tried to set one up for FB/CL it would just send me notifications for everything I was tagged in or in my area, nothing allowed me to filter out everything except houses I was looking for. Any help on this would be great. 

For those of you who are not familiar with IFTTT, it is a web-based service that allows users to create chains of conditional statements to trigger notifications to you. This is a great way to find leads on places like Craigslist so instead of having to spend so much time digging through craigslist you can got IFTTT and set up a program that will identify keywords like, "fixer", "Handman", "fixer-upper", "etc. and will send you a notification through email that a property in your area is available and matches your criteria and you can view it. Saves a lot of time if you are a busy person.
