Free platform to automate actions between different web services and apps, creating premade 'applets' via simple if-this-then-that formulas.
IFTTT (If This Then That) is a free automation platform that connects various web services, SaaS platforms and IoT devices via conditional statements to trigger actions between them. The basic structure of these connections on IFTTT consists of two parts:
- This - This part defines the trigger event that will kick off an automation sequence (e.g. new Dropbox file uploaded, new Facebook photo posted, iOS reminder created etc.)
- That - This part defines the second app or service that will perform an action in response to the trigger event happening (e.g. send an email notification, create a Google Calendar event, add row to Google Sheet workbook etc.)
These conditional connections are called applets and IFTTT provides hundreds of premade applets spanning categories like Photos, Social media, Finance, Business, Health & fitness, Location, Weather etc. Applets can also be customized or users can create their own unique applets from scratch using the web interface or mobile app.
Overall, IFTTT helps streamline and automate repetitive online tasks to optimize workflows. It enhances productivity and saves time for users by leveraging the capabilities and APIs of popular apps/services they already use on a daily basis across their digital footprint.
