IFTTT is an acronym for “If This Then That.” It’s a platform where anyone can connect developers' devices, services, and apps to create “applets” that perform automation for various web-based tasks and improve productivity.

We work today using many apps and platforms, even in our (smart) homes. If you enjoy combining tech apps and web platforms to create automatic routines, then IFTTT is for you. The tool helps anyone from engineers and programmers to people with no coding skills (through low code) to integrate devices, services, and apps easily.

Create a wide range of automations for home and work. For example, if you make a call on your phone, IFTTT automations can log that call on a Google spreadsheet. Set up IFTTT to add new Trello tasks to your iPhone’s Reminders app. You can even automate your iRobot vacuum cleaner to thoroughly clean the house as soon as you leave.

Creating automation and applets is as easy as choosing your trigger, specifying the action or series of actions you want resulting from that trigger, naming the applet, and hitting the finish button to get your applet ready and running.

Depending on your plan, you can also access more thorough features, allowing you to create more complex applets with multi-step actions and even more triggers using conditional logic. This can help businesses and teams build ecosystems of apps and platforms that work together.

IFTTT gives you access to over 700 services ready to be automated, with more added every week. It includes products such as Gmail, Dropbox, Uber, Spotify, Philips, Samsung, Amazon, Google, and many more.

IFTTT also empowers new users with ready-made applets they can just install and start running automation. With hundreds of applets available, it’s easy to find one that suits your needs. There is also an option to search for applets, which facilitates your search as well.
