IFTTT

This is where I write about IFTTT, the service that made simple automations popular long before most people had heard the word. IFTTT stands for If This Then That, and the idea is exactly that simple: when something happens in one app or device, something else happens in another. I start with the story of the tool itself. In What is IFTTT and how it evolved over time, I look at why unlimited free Applets and a generous community made it such a hit, and how the 2020 Pro plan and the 2023 limits changed that relationship. You will also find my review of IFTTT from the Tools recommendations, where I share how it fits into my own setup. More hands-on guides are on the way, and I will keep comparing IFTTT with Power Automate and n8n so you know when each one is the right choice.
