IFTTT

About IFTTT - IFTTT:

FTTT is a service that lets you create powerful connections with one simple statement: "if this then that"If this, then that. We call 'this' the Trigger, and 'that' the Action. Together, it is a Recipe.

IFTTT is pronounced like “gift” without the “g.”

IFTTT

  • Channels 
    are the basic building blocks of IFTTT. Each Channel has its own Triggers and Actions, like email, facebook, weather...
  • TriggersThe this part of a Recipe is a Trigger. Some example Triggers are “I’m tagged in a photo on Facebook” or “I check in on Foursquare.”
  • IngredientsPieces of data from a Trigger are called Ingredients. For example, the Ingredients of an Email Trigger could be: subject, body, attachment, received date, and the sender’s address.
  • Recipes
    • Personal Recipes are a combination of a Trigger and an Action from your active Channels.
    • Shared Recipes are useful templates shared by the IFTTT community. 
    • Most Personal Recipes check for new Trigger data every 15 minutes, some are even faster.
    • Personal Recipes can be turned on and off.
