IFTTT is if this then that. It is an internet of things app. It allows you to use the internet to automate certain tasks to make your life easier managing those very tasks. It does not work with everything on the internet but it supports most of the big services most of us use from day to day. Services like twitter, evernote, gmail and rss to mention a few.
The expectation of the service from the user is actually simple. You register your account and then you create your recipe or pick from the free numerous ones on the site.
You choose your trigger event then you choose the action you want performed then you activate the recipe. It would not hurt to test the recipe to be sure it will do what it has been designed to do.
IFTTT is available as an app on the iOS platform as well as on the internet browser. This makes it easy to use everywhere. The only problem I had with it is that when I’m in the offline mode on my phone, I can’t mix any recipe. I guess it does makes sense since it is about the internet of things but it probably is a cool idea to be able to try your hands on some mixtures while you are away from signal coverage areas.
I am still learning how to maximize it but looking at the recipes I have running now, it looks like this is something that will become very big with time.
