What do you like best about the product?
I will keep it short and simple. If you are willing to invest your money in automation, then this is the easiest, safest, and most hassle-free option outthere. I have used Zapier and various other services. There is nothing that matches the simplicity of the IFTTT Applets (formerly recipes) You can easily find high-quality applets for a wide range of use cases with ease. There well-made UI is ideal for modifying any existing applet according to your needs. Obviously, as a fun loving person, I often make my own applets which are equally easy to create. IFTTT strikes a right balance between ease-of-use for normal users and the freedom for a pro user.

What do you dislike about the product?
As much as I love IFTTT, I keep going to other services. The reason being my hate for there pricing plans. They have a free plan, but a lot has been restricted to paid pricing plans, Usually, companies provide a free basic version of services with paid advanced features. However, in case of IFTTT, basic apps like Pinterest have been completely restricted to paid plans. Ofcourse, things like 2+ app integrations, condionals, variables should come at a price, but having even basic functionality restricted is a deal breaker for me.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am performing home automation, and little bit of office level automation. Some quality of life improvements as well. For example, I am taking backup of my call logs automatically by integrating with Google Sheets. Other use cases include muting my phone at certain geogrpahical locations using GPS.

What do you like best about the product?
It automates many tasks when and how I need them done for me so that I do not have to. It integrates with many of the platforms I use with what is called an "applet". Having the tasks done for me is like having an assistant. I can even have it call me if a certain thing happens with an automated voice that is programmable with what not to say. Easy to use as it takes you through step-by-step via a setup wizard for each applet that you create.

What do you dislike about the product?
I believe that Zapier is their main competitor. While IFTTT is a whole bunch cheaper, they are missing a few that I wish they had (e.g. Shopify/Microsoft). While they are really competitive in price, they need to become more competitive with integrations.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- It is integrated with my Google Calendar. I have it call me when certain types of events are scheduled. - If I receive an order from a freelancer website, then it immediately calls me and creates both a calendar entry and a task entry. - The images that get posted to my social media profiles are automatically backed up on Google Drive or Dropbox.

What do you like best about the product?
IFTTT is a tool that allows users to automate their little yet time-consuming tasks with the greatest of ease. You can set it to perform a certain task by creating a dependency for it. For example, it will automatically create an entry in a spreadsheet and publish a post on Facebook if you complete a Fitbit goal, it will share a file in the office chatgroup from your dropbox and send you an email notification for the same if an employee asks for it in the chatgroup. This is just a simple idea it contains much more than this. IFTTT also offers a free trial period for unlimited time which is restricted to up to 5 free applets. It is very simple to use and does not require even 1% of programming experience.

What do you dislike about the product?
IFTTT is capable to do almost every task by itself yet it is restricted to only those actions which do not require an intelligent quotient. If one wants to create an applet that requires multiple dependencies, can not be created with IFTTT as it is limited to performing the actions that require just one dependency. IFTTT is collaborating with several other service providers to integrate their service but a lot more popular ones are yet to be onboarded.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am saving a lot of my time by getting some of my actions/tasks done by IFTTT. In my professional life, it is helping me and my team by automating a lot of actions that depend on a certain action that take place. For example, It creates a Facebook Post, a tweet on Twitter, and creates an Instagram story on our client pages as soon as we post blog articles on our clients' WordPress websites. On a personal level, it also helps me turn on my cabin's air conditioner and light as soon as the morning alarm rings in my smartwatch.

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to execute specific code and create integration between different services without needing personal hardware. Ability to execute complex bespoke commands in real-time with a button tap on a smartphone.

What do you dislike about the product?
IFTTT may be limited by API access of services. Shortcuts (by Apple), Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote, and Feedly provide different levels of access. Access to service may be behind a paywall (on the services end).

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Different digital services require integration. Integrating, migrating, and automating tasks across various services is vital for repetitive tasks.

What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy being able to cross connect just about any service out there to create automation workflows across just about any service out there.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a more developer-centric interface available for general advanced users to be able to create custom formulas and actions beyond what has already been provided. It doesn't happen often, but I sometimes find a service lacks an obvious function but there is no way to manually add them.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to move notifications between services in a predictable and programmatic automated manner.

It has allowed me to automate and optimize a large number of processes within my company in a fairly quick and practical way, its interface has a fairly intuitive design which ensures a fairly positive browsing experience, the fact that we can automate tasks Backup and file synchronization is something quite useful within our company that guarantees that the information is always available and accessible to everyone at all times, the main dashboard is well designed and with all the information well distributed which greatly simplifies my time of use with the system, the customer service team is quite quick to respond to any problems that arise.

What do you dislike about the product?
You have to be aware that the service may stop working without prior notice, especially when password changes are made to users, which is quite cumbersome.

For all industries it is safe to use. Obviously, that's a huge bonus. And your first steps from the installation and implementation to efficient automation of your first project are very simple. Mobile support is offered and functions like on the computer fluently. Some examples of system collections are available to inspire you or to give you new ideas to increase your productivity.

What do you dislike about the product?
It takes longer to start certain automation processes. And with such errors, the program is less sensitive or helpful. Sometimes you don't know that a system doesn't work properly or has long ceased work. I agree that this must be changed. These systems would otherwise be tracked for a lot of time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will first check how amazing this device is. It is available online, free and allows great online automation of certain acts by using its recipes. You should authenticate your account in two steps, which is necessary, since so many other services apply to your account.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With simple commands this software can simplify your tasks using if-functions. To use this tool, you do not need any coding or programming skills. All features are simple to learn and almost any job you can imagine can be adapted to. You can connect and use many applications for your tasks. This model is straightforward and intuitive, and even with state-of - the-art automation it will not get confused. All in all, this instrument helps us make daily work more successful and focus on important tasks.

Before you begin to search for multiple different software programs to integrate your platforms I recommend taking IFTTT for a spin. It is likely that they will be your best solution and if they do not offer an integration now they will soon.

What do you dislike about the product?
Even there are hundreds and thousands of integrations are available to connect, I found there are some important and missing applets and opportunities. I would like to see those on the platform in the future.

What do you like best about the product?
IFTTT has a very simple interface, visually pleasing, easy to configure and use. It works very well to manage several social media accounts at the same time, as well as to alternate shared posts from one platform to another. In addition, it provides integration between different social networks at a very affordable cost, something that could be very expensive in other similar tools.

What do you dislike about the product?
IFTTT offers great customization and flexibility, so much that for some users it can be confusing. In addition, provide recipes that are easy to implement but that are complicated to understand at first. Perhaps they could add a video of the possible actions to be taken could help with this last aspect.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
IFTTT is ideal for Marketing teams that wish to configure automations in their company to maximize the use of their time. However, consider that at the beginning IFTTT is a bit complex, so the more time you dedicate to this application, the more you can take advantage of it later.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our company, social networks are our most powerful means of communicating with our audience, and IFTTT allows us to activate publications on several social networks, mainly, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. IFTTT allows us to select the publication of one platform and publish this same information in others, so the content is recycled. In addition, it has a series of very useful tools to which our team has taken the greatest benefit.

IFTTT is very much like a cooler version of Zapier but with a whole different approach. For entrepreneurs looking to expand the reach of their content marketing efforts, I recommend IFTTT to them for duplicating content from one social channel to others. It is great for triggers and alerts as well, which I use in my business to generate notifications for account activity on Stripe!

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more business use cases and integrations on IFTTT. Getting into more niche API integrations could definitely serve IFTTT much better. Also expanding the triggers and actions of their existing app integrations is key.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want an easy way to make software you already use communicate and work together, this is a great app choice to adopt. It may not have all of the app integrations you could ever dream of, but for what it does have, it does well!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to show self-serve social media clients how to automatically syndicate content between social channels is incredibly powerful for entrepreneurs focused on time-savings and efficiency! Being able to send myself SMS notifications when new customers register in my business (through Stripe triggers) allows me to stay updated on new customer activity so I can be more present in the daily operations of my business.

It's very simple in it's explanation, where I'm not sure how it's connect or how it will work. It would be good to test out functions before I went ahead and went full speed ahead

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to anyone that's trying to automate the simple tasks, but more advanced tasks may require more research

Some integrations are weak, for example, creating a card in Trello doesn't allow line breaks in a description of the card.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to research which integrations they have and search for useful applets for you or your business tasks.

I wish I could create more custom actions instead of just choose from the library.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend you make sure your website, email server, and other common apps are represented on IFTTT before going through the trouble of signing up and connecting all of your accounts. Most services are represented, so you should be fine.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The best thing about IFTTT is that they offer a marketplace of automation. You can always be sure that the toggle's are legit by the verification mark of companies. For example, for one of my clients we utilize the youtube to tumblr tool, so when ever we make a post on our youtube, it will automatically upload to Tumblr. It isn't just for business, I use it personally with some home automation apps around my house, to set specific details on times and other aspects of this.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they had the option to have people request different tools, but they are still very good.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you have a reason to use it, without having any prior idea about what you want to get from it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automation for sure. The biggest issue I see a lot of people having is updating across their website, social media's etc... and it allows me to publish at once and it go's across all of their Chanels.

I use this primarily to automatically repost anything I put up on Instagram to my Facebook business page. It saves me a lot of time as it would take me twice as long to go back and add everything I had already put up on Instagram to my Facebook page but IFTTT allows me to do it automatically.

What do you dislike about the product?
Not all the applets work the way they're supposed to and sometimes the one I've chosen has not been updated and I will have to choose another one. I haven't gotten too much downtime from this though, so it's really not that big a deal. The pros far outweigh the cons as far as I am concerned.

There are lots and lots of applets that can help you but even if you only choose one or two it can make a major difference in your work life.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Even if you only find one applet that is useful it is worth checking out this extremely valuable platform!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've probably gotten back 2 hours a day from the triggers I have set up on the platform, and in a lot of ways just made a more streamlined workflow. Community-sourced triggers help you think of additional possibilities. For a free service, it's fantastic, and really don't think you could ask for more. The service channels are wide and varied and suit both personal and professional life.

What do you dislike about the product?
As great as the community sourcing is, sometimes it can really distract you from what you came there to do.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take some time to explore - and then the next time you find yourself doing a repetitive digital task - pop back into IFTT and see the different ways that you can automate it!

Star Rating: 5

What do you like best about the product?
Everybody in these days relies on multiple web services: Gmail, Google Docs, Evernote, the stock iOS or Android apps, and all these pretty devices connected in the Internet of Things ... What IFTTT does is linking them together, through a system of applets made by the user in a very simple way (no need for programming, it's really, really intuitive). As an example, IFTTT could automatically send a completed iOS reminder to a Google Calendar, to keep track of its completion, or turn off the home lights when your phone is at a given distance form home... The possibilities are endless.

What do you dislike about the product?
The free version has a certain lag in some cases, and one should beware about critical tasks since they could for some reason fail. But in general the system is robust and does its tasks well. Sometimes you may wish some other service. They are added over time, try to pull a request.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you subscribed to several web services, use IFTTT to connect them all and reach a whole new level of integration and synergy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As everybody, we use multiple web services, and connecting them is extremely useful. As an example we used IFTTT to keep track of the wether during a year, just telling the system to log the data in a google sheet.

What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the simplicity that IFTTT provides to both people who love tech, and those who struggle with using tech. Setting up an account and connecting apps has never been easier, nor has setting up applets and commands using the multitude of different options available. There is definitely a bit of foreknowledge required to build your own applets, however there are numerous pre-made applets available that are easy to copy and recreate on your own.

What do you dislike about the product?
I definitely miss multi-step applets, similar to those that can be run on competitors, such as Zapier. Also, while there are numerous integrations available, it would be beneficial to see those increase, and to see the existant ones receive further functions (such as Android device; the ability to play a playlist, connect to a google cast device; Google Calendar integrations that go into further detail, like on Zapier)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely is an automation program that I would recommend looking into because of it's ease of use and powerful integrations. The numerous app integrations and built-in functions for each integration make the platform a one-stop shop for most integrations, and the pricing (free!) makes it an easy choice to make over other competing apps.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Full disclosure; I use IFTTT mostly for home automation and smart home controls benefiting from the Google Assistant integration, however I have found IFTTT simplifies daily tasks like tracking work hours and automatically muting my phone during work hours; as well as simplifying Google Calendar events creation & integrating seamlessly with the Google Assistant to help create to-do lists, meetings, contacts, and more.

There really isn't anything that I dislike with IFTTT, at least for what I use it for.

I use IFTTT to do social marketing across the many different social networking platforms I use to get the word out about my business. After creating several different applets on IFTTT, I now only need to post my content on one social media platform, such as Facebook, and the same posting will appear on Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, & more. IFTTT also has many other uses in addition to helping you streamline your social media content postings, but I'm not yet familiar with those aspects of this software.

IFTTT has made it so easy to post to my business' social media networks! My creating several different applets (quick and easy to do) I am able to post on one of my social media accounts and have that content appear quickly on all of them. It is so easy to reach my customer's with new social media content using IFTTT.

What do you like best about the product?
I love the shortcuts this creates. I use a lot of social media apps and having the ability to post on one and then it link to others it works well. Also the ability to automatically backup or move photos to the cloud storage is particularly useful!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not everything is supported, and I get envious of the many new technological advances that I don't yet have when I see them listed in the applet!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making backing up precious photos etc more efficient, and making my social media posts more streamlined

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to integrate various unrelated software. It truly has an enormous variety of programs that it can work with. I also like the ability to automate certain functions such as silencing my phone based on my location. I like the fact that it can also work with smartphones, using phone notifications as possible actions to choose from.

What do you dislike about the product?
Each software has certain triggers and actions to choose from when customizing what you want to happen. I just wish there were more triggers and actions available, since for some programs, it seems that the options are a bit limited.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a look at applets created by others, to give you ideas on what kind of features to implement. You can reuse other people's applets or use them as the basis to create your own. If you are an Evernote user, think of all the information that could automatically be added to a note, giving you a permanent archive of (for example): your calendar, Instapaper highlights, tweets, Facebook statuses, etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Preventing my scatterbrained self from missing meetings. For example, I have an applet that checks my Google Calendar for the word "meeting" and sends me an email and phone notification 15 minutes prior to the start time. It has also allowed me to have easier access to my information, such as taking any highlights I make in Instapaper, and appending them to an Evernote note.

What do you like best about the product?
IFTTT takes a rather complex idea and makes it simple to use. There's often stuff you can forget to do, or the stuff you need to do often, it becomes so tedious that you can actually forget about it. IFTTT solves this with receipts - automating your workflow and does "something" when "somethign else" happens.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to not like abot IFTTT it's actually pretty bare-bone, but does a lot. The free limits are somewhat low, but that's a little problem

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about what you do everyday. Think how you can streamline it. Now go to IFTTT and do this with simple triggers.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating some parts of mywork. For example, automatically saving Gmail attachments to my OneDrive account.

What do you like best about the product?
IFTTT allows our team to enter social media automation and focus on the central work that we are doing. After setting up the profile on IFTTT we can create one post and the recipes do all the heavy lifting. Its great that we can also create, as users, our own recipes to the tools we use the most.

What do you dislike about the product?
i dislike the need for IFTTT to hash-tag all the posts. We would happily pay for that not to be part of the final posts there.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely acknowledge that there are better paid services and that there are so many ways to use this product - it can be used for personal account management and so much more. We use it in a limited way that really maximizes one area of our work. Taking time with the set-up is crucial.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We solve for efficiency with the product in major ways. We don't have to worry about the time that we would independently have to expend going to a handful of different websites and create posts in each individually. IFTTT allows us to limit our time spent on revenue generating activities heavily and focus on relationship building.

What do you like best about the product?
The number of plugins is astonishing. You can hook up your google drive (including sheets, calendar, etc.) which has been super cool for collecting a history of your actions - such as each of your tweets. And with the ability to hook up to your email, you can easily organize responses to outreach. I'm in Marketing and track campaign activity so this comes in handy.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there's not much to complain about. I guess my only issue is that I haven't toyed around with the massive amount of options there are.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out their integrated apps and imagine how you could utilize it to keep things more organized / efficient. It doesn't hurt to give it a try and test it with your team. You'll be amazed at how much you can do with the platform. It's especially helpful to those who manage social media and might want another way to track the actions taken on different social sites.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
General organization and capturing things in a secondary location (such as taking email alerts and inserting the responses into a more organized location - for example, rows in a google sheet that can then be shared with my team).

What do you like best about the product?
Simple consumer/pro-sumer service that makes it easy to set alerts and action chains, such as an email when it's going to rain at a site. The interface is simple for a broad number of people to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
It has not been production-ready. Seemingly obvious events have been missed (not clear if it's a spam filter or bad input data) and there are not pro-level debugging tools.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The pro-sumer level of the product has very little support, but is priced accordingly (i.e., free). Make sure your users are independent if you select that tier. I understand that integration help is available for paid users.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's an easy way to enable a broad group to set simple triggers for alerts (like emails, but many others are available) when something in the outside world is changing or may change in the future. There may also be deeper triggers and complex IF/AND logic, but we have not utilized that.

I love that I can set up any type of reminder for text or email, based on an event or on a regular time schedule.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes when I get the IFTTT message, it is jumbled with multiple links that can get confusing. Once I got accustomed to using it, I just ignore those links mostly. I also adjusted the actual data I put into the IFTTT to be more comprehensive, with the link issue in mind.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a dependable outside resource for setting up reminders on many platforms. Sometimes, it takes a bit to get used to the way it all works, if you're not an Apple person, but it is well worth the time to figure it out. I liked it so much, I created a personal account, as well!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling and reminders are the main use. I've had issues with dependability of calendar or email based reminders, so this is an excellent dependable reminder system. It is invaluable in a high tempo environment. I can also set up recurring reminders for my monthly accounting and business management needs, as well as programming checks, or any other number of things.

I love the number of brands that integrate well with IFTTT. From Appliances, business and education tools there's almost nothing you can't integrate. I like the fact almost every social media platforms can be all triggered which is a great time saver. It's my go to app when I'm away from my desktop as I can manage my IFTTT activity via mobile and tablet,.

What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the fact that on some of the triggers for social media that you have to add a image url instead of being able to upload it directly.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for an automation tool to link your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram platforms and many more without having to be on each platform every again then this is for you.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use IFTTT to trigger off social media networks posts for twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube and use it to schedule the release of WordPress blog post to send to Twitter. Save so much time and reassurance that once you switch it on you never have to look at it again. Love IFTTT!

It's easy to forget it's even there working away in the background doing what you told it to do when you try to troubleshoot some other social media scheduling issue...and then things get confusing.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a very useful tool for so many reasons. It saves me lot's of time and energy when it comes to scheduling social media.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IFTTT allows me to share between Instagram and other platforms based on a specific hashtag instead of sharing every single Instagram post to another platform.

Star Rating: 4

What do you like best about the product?
The user interface and the app are easy to understand and use. Integrating services is as easy as signing in with the click of a button. The applets you use are well-organized and the suggested applets are often very useful once IFTTT figures out more or less what you're looking for on its platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
IFTTT is definitely set up more for personal than business use, with most of the applets focusing on connecting social media accounts and in-home automated devices like Amazon Echo, Hue lights, Nest thermostats, etc. If you're looking for something for automating business processes that has a more robust offering of integrated programs than Gmail and to-do lists, this may not be the right automation tool for you.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
IFTTT is definitely geared more toward personal use than business use. Zapier provides a similar automation product that is geared more toward business use. Personally, I use both, as they're both free (Zapier does have pricing options for additional features, but they have a forever-free version)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Personally? I'm finding my phone. I lose my phone every ten minutes (it's a problem) and I own an Amazon Echo. Weirdly, it's not a skill on the Echo to call a phone, but through an IFTTT applet I am able to ask the Echo to call my phone - and therefore find it. I don't actually use it for social media because I already utilize Hootsuite to coordinate social media posts for business - but if IFTTT proves to allow more integrations and more task completion without as much cost, it's possible that I'll switch.

For the most part, business integration is its downfall. I'd love to see more integrations such as those on Zapier

Recommendations to others considering the product:
For personal cloud syncing, IFTTT is not bad. For business, there are better choices.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to connect systems that don't typically talk to each other.

It's the most comprehensive way to automate a wide variety of tasks that involves no coding and let's you integrate nearly endless choices of platforms, software and systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's certainly not the most user friendly system. There is definitely a big learning curve acting as barrier to entry with IFTTT.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to learn it properly, especially for those tasks most important to simplifying your life. If you look deeply enough into it, it's likely it can do something, integrate something or automate something you never even considered as possible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This comprehensive system lets me automate tasks, allowing me to spend my time less on busy work and monitoring and more on getting things done and living my life. As a self-employed freelancer, it's easy to let work take over my life. One of the most useful ways that I use IFTTT is by using it to control how and when I receive notifications, so I can be sure that the most important ones get to me right away, while the rest can wait until I'm ready to deal with them. This way I don't have to worry about missing out on great job opportunities or important notices, while also not being continually bombarded with every email that comes my way, disrupting my workflow and my downtime.

I initially signed up for IFTTT to post my Facebook posts and tweets at the same time. I found another service better meant for that, but I still use IFTTT for business and personal use. I love that there are so many "recipes" pre-made and ones you can create yourself. It connects a lot of sites and apps that normally don't work together.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limits to what IFTTT can do. Some of the things I dream up for it to do, it can't.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's created a lot of automation for the small business I work for, and automation is necessary when you have a small business. We're able to use IFTTT for our social media, calendars and to keep an eye on what our competitors are doing!

IFTTT does a great job of automating tasks across multipled accounts. I don't need to log into each account and repeat the same actions to publish content, or to capture published content for redistribution.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the services that operate within the IFTTT environment do not do the specific things I'd want, or some of the services are not yet on board.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
When I first started using it I found it very complicated because I was not looking at it from the right point of view. The name really threw me off. There are video tutorials for everything out there, so if it is challenging for you, start with those.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This works very well with social media, so if you want to publish a promotion to multiple social platforms, IFTTT will offer numerous ways to acheive that with only one act on your part.

IFTTT is an excellent resource for automating so many everyday tasks. From integrating smart home devices to emailing and syncing social media content. I have not found an automated task yet that IFTTT has not been able to help me with.

Applet organization could be a little cleaner for general browsing. You are still able to directly search for applets, but browsing can be a little cluttered.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
A great way to automate many routine tasks.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For devices and cloud functionality that we do not have. a direct API or communication link for, IFTTT allows us to perform a variety of different activities that would otherwise rely on such communications. We also use it for broadcast posting of the same content to multiple social media platforms and archiving posts as they are made to Google drive.

I've been able to snag apartment listings and furniture I likely wouldn't have been vigilant enough to find otherwise.

What do you like best about the product?
For simple logic connections between apps and services IFTTT is brilliant. It's very easy to set up "applets" to connect services and simplify my life and work considerably. For example, I have set up applets that automatically add native posts from Twitter (my preferred social network) to Facebook and LinkedIn. This allows me to simplify my social media content flow and still reach people I care about who prefer those other networks.

What do you dislike about the product?
The logic is usually restricted to a simple "if this then that" formula. Sometimes more complex equations would be very helpful. For example, I have to have separate applets for each social media service I use when I could combine all of them into one "recipe" with a little more complexity. Sometimes the services I want to connect are not available and/or the actions I want to trigger or act on are not available within the service.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other services similar to IFTTT that may provide better connections between services if cost is not a problem. The simplest of these, in my opinion, is IFTTT. However, they do lack certain integrations and options that would be very helpful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simplifying workflows by automating the flow of content and information between services that are otherwise not connected.

There is something for every user no what website or software you're using.

Since, I've to be highly active on social media plus marketing on different channels. So, I've chosen this product to increase my followers, engaging audience, and marketing on different social networking sites at the same time. And the best thing of this product/service is whatever i want I can do with it. Like, I can create my own applets for marketing on different social networking sites at once, and the best thing is that I can tweet with pictures via Instagram, which previously I haven't gotten such kind of product. So, these two are the main and my favorite features of this service/product. This is the thing which doesn't make it best but also my favorite.

There are few channels which are missing, due to which i can not do marketing on such channels. if they resolve this issue then it'll become best and the excellent.

What do you like best about the product?
IFTTT lets you set up 'recipes' that allow the user to make actions happen within the social media, and apps they already use. Do you want to know when the kids get home from school. Get IFTTT for their device, and set it up. (IF) (THIS) phone is here (via location service) (THEN) send Parents text message to phone. Want to not have all your photos in FB. Then make a recipe to send FB photos to google drive, dropbox, or upload to flicker.. Etc..

What do you dislike about the product?
With so many things to do it's almost like having too much choice. It can be overwhelming IFTTT should break down into very simple categories. Like (parent will love these) .. or (tracking recipes etc)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving problems for social media distribution. Recipes for myself, and personal user as well. It's a great system.

What do you like best about the product?
I love how simple it is to get started, especially with recommended recipes. I'm especially happy now that my favorite app, Trello, is finally on IFTTT. I even have a recipe so I can send articles from Pocket to Instapaper, which I can then send from Instapaper directly to kindle - Fantastic!

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more options for connections. For example, I wish I could add a "star" to Toodledo and have it turn my To Do item into a Trello card. Some connections don't work backward - like I can use Instagram to be the start of a recipe, but I can't automate things to Instagram. I know this isn't the fault of IFTTT, as much as it's part of what they have access to.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it - you'll love it! You'll find so many uses for it, and you'll find yourself becoming more creative as you find new ways to try it out. The way to make this the absolute best is to connect all the channels to accounts you have. They've also got stuff for smart homes - something I look forward to using when I get a few of the smart home items.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using it to automate certain aspects of my social media. One such use I love is connecting my Instagram to twitter, so my image will automatically upload to twitter as well - as opposed to uploading as a link when I use Instagram's link.
