Think of IFTTT (If This Then That) as a team of assistants who do your tasks for free. Set up automatic actions for everything from backups of your pictures, to rescue phone calls to escape a boring meeting! Using an IFTTT account, activate any of the 105 available channels (like Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc). An IFTT recipe needs a trigger (“if this”) and action (“then that”). Recipe examples include: “Tweet my Facebook status updates” or “When a new book is added to Kindle Top Free 100 eBooks, send me an email”. The Android app comes with a variety of new recipes not available to iOS users, including tapping into device notifications, location, phone calls, photos and text messages, e.g., “If my phone goes to voicemail, send the caller a text message”.
You can search for a pre-made applet out of a selection of hundreds by entering your subject in the search bar and turning on the slider. You’ll probably need to activate other services for the applet to work, to which you will be directed after switching on the slider. All it takes is the toggle of a button.
Another way to search for pre-made applets is by clicking on “Discover,” which will take you to a list of applets relating to those you’ve previously activated. By clicking on a specific category, you’ll be able to see your applets grouped together according to similarities.
