IFTTT

Great automation software easy to use

Kommentare: It has been great for making good automations with alexa and calendars in no time

Vorteile:

I like that you can set up the steps needed for an automation even on your phone in less than a minute and get it working immediately

Nachteile:

I would like to have more integrations for business software. It works great with commercial stuff like google, alexa, mail, etc. But on a larger business term like integrations of CRM, Mailchimp and Slack it falls short.

Unlock Automation Possibilities with IFTTT

Kommentare: Overall, IFTTT is an excellent tool for automating a wide range of tasks. Its simple setup, vast range of applets, and ability to create custom applets make it a great choice for streamlining your digital life. The only downside is that it can be unreliable at times, and the range of services it can integrate with is limited. However, if you are willing to put up with these issues, IFTTT is a great tool for automation.

Vorteile:

IFTTT is an incredibly powerful tool for automating a wide range of tasks. It is incredibly simple to set up and use, and it can make your life easier by taking care of tedious chores. The applets available to users are vast and cater to a variety of needs, and the ability to create your own applets is a great bonus. IFTTT is definitely a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their digital life.

Nachteile:

The main issue with IFTTT is that it can be a bit unreliable. Applet triggers can sometimes fail to execute properly, and there is no way to be sure when this will happen. In addition, the range of services IFTTT can integrate with is limited, which can be a problem for users who require more custom solutions.

Such promise. Much undelivered.

Kommentare: My overall experience with IFTTT is a letdown. And I've held out hope for YEARS. Just couldn't make it useful from a business perspective.

Vorteile:

I like the idea of IFTTT more than anything else. The UI is nice and clean.

Nachteile:

The big disappointment in IFTTT is that is just doesn't do enough for professionals/business. Not only that, but trying to modify or edit the settings of an applet is difficult if not impossible. There's just not enough control.

Automation is now a childs play.

Kommentare: My basic use of the IFTTT is to give notification on Telegram whenever a new row is inserted in Google Sheet and IFTTT is doing the same quite flawlessly.

Vorteile:

Easiness and straightforward approach make the IFTTT ahead of other available solutions, It took only 2 minutes to sign up and I am pretty sure in total 10 minutes your Alert system/Automation is ready to run. Even in the free account 3 number of automation tasks are free for life and with zero latency.

Nachteile:

In the case of the Google sheet option available options are very limited like a change in single-cell value/Insert a new row where Zapier provides many more options.

Simply the best home automation toolset

Kommentare: setting up home/office integrations that remove interruptions from the working day.

Vorteile:

A wider range of connectors than anywhere else, and the simplest way to create most triggered actions. IFTTT pro now allows multi-step actions which would address most of the issues I had earlier.

Nachteile:

being able to link to multiple accounts for triggers and actions would give me everything I really need from this now.

The best value-for-money automation platform

Kommentare: It is an awesome tool that has saved us enormous amount of time and has allowed us to automate huge part of our day-to-day tasks

Vorteile:

With IFTTT "recipes" we were able to automate nearly 50% of our daily processes. From simultaneous posting to archiving (moving files in google drive) to logging (keep track of every change at a google spreadsheet) we were able to automate every repetitive task in our organization.

Nachteile:

Sometimes the service stops working (ie when you change your password to any connected platform you need to re-autorize IFTTT) and it might take a while before you realise it.

Easy to use Social Media Management

Kommentare: I love this service and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to schedule posts for their social media marketing.

Vorteile:

I love how easy this is to setup and get started. There is a free version and a premium version. Both options have much to offer. The customer support is amazing and the website also offers tutorials on how best to use the service to maximize your scheduling.

Nachteile:

I love the software but the only thing I dislike is the time zone difference. The creator and the program is set up in a different time zone, so you have to adjust your posts to schedule in the time zone that best works for you.

Outstanding Web Service for Automation

Kommentare: It has allowed me to expand my commercial activities from one platform to another by automating publications

Vorteile:

- Automation of the tasks followed by personalized programming of the different scenarios. - Significant time savings, allowing visualization of results and optimization of adjustments- Multi-platform integration, ideal for commercial and e-commerce development

Nachteile:

No worries, the tool is perfect, nevertheless it is necessary to get the premium version to benefit from all the advantages

free web-based service that allows you to create custom automations

Kommentare: IFTTT is a useful tool for automating repetitive tasks and connecting different apps and devices

Vorteile:

IFTTT allows users to connect a wide variety of apps and devices, making it a powerful tool for automating different tasks and streamlining processes.

Nachteile:

Some IFTTT recipes may not work without an internet connection, which could be a problem for some users.

Easiest No coded integration platform

Vorteile:

Widely used for smartphone to smart home appliances, Internet of things gadgets and some daily used apps to integrate like google sheets, gmail, weather, instagram, twitter and more

Nachteile:

Webhook response data can not be mapped in next steps

IFTTT Review

Kommentare: I am a very happy user.

Vorteile:

IFTTT is very easy to use and was very easy to teach to my team. I have also gotten many of my friends back in Uganda to use IFTTT because of how it simplifies tasks.

Nachteile:

IFTTT used to be free and I loved it. Then they came up with IFTTT Pro which threw me off because most small businesses like a free thing every once in a while. Regardless, the cost is not terribly high so my team continues to use it.

If you find yourself repeatedly doing the same action - look into this.

Vorteile:

Over the last couple of years, IFTTT has begun to focus a lot more on smart home automation - but there are still some really great triggers available. Using simple logic triggers you can make two different (or even the same) apps communicate and complete actions for you. There is a great user-generated base of ideas for things you can do with the application! It's a great place to start if you either aren't particularly comfortable with technology, or just want to explore what can be done. Some of my favourite actions are - sending me a text when it's supposed to rain or snow the next day. Sending a text with a quote of the day. When I clap for an article on Medium - it will pin the article to a board on Pinterest. Tweet instagram photos with a particular hashtag. Sync your profile picture on Facebook and Instagram. The list goes on. There are also "Buttons" which are manually triggered actions, where you can have an icon available on your phones home screen to - for example - text your partner that you are on your way home. Love it - couldn't live without it.

Nachteile:

Zapier has begun overtaking it in the volume of apps available to integrate with. But - if you have a smart home, or multiple smart-devices - IFTTT will be a valuable tool for you.

Settings Apps Leave Out

Kommentare: Overall IFTTT has been a pleasure to use with ease and has provided ma with many useful applets. The best thing is they provide updates every so often loaded with new applets.

Vorteile:

Using IFTTT will bring a new outlook to the apps you use each and everyday. Ever wished that two apps were compatible and linked to each other well guess what wishes come true. IFTTT is packed full of applets that connect different services and connections together but you can also make your own custom applets. The process is pretty easy to understand and use even for the average tech user. The biggest plus is that its safe to use unlike many of the services offered nowdays.

Nachteile:

The only con I have experienced in my use of IFTTT is that I will connect my services, connections, or devices then select my applet and options. Well somtimes during the running of the applet it will just close for no reason, no error nothing. I have researched for an answer but so far have not had any luck finding a solution.

Do things with your other things that those things don't do on their own

Kommentare: IFTTT is an essential tool for me. I use it to turn my lights on and off. I have a custom bedtime scene for my son that is triggered by "Goodnight [Son's Name]" that we use every single night. And it also improved my experience with Todoists subpar Google Assistant functionality. I couldn't do any of these things so easily without it.

Vorteile:

A great way to automate simple tasks, and extend the functionality of other products you own to do things they don't do on their own. For example, add custom commands to Google Assistant. Add even more smarts to your smart lighting. Post daily exchange rates to a Slack channel. Those are some of the things I use IFTTT for on literally a daily basis.

Nachteile:

Creating your own custom integrations is very clunky. I usually don't want to use someone else's premade integration. And I don't create new ones often enough to remember how I did it the last time. But every single time I find I have to hunt on the site for a few minutes to find the button to click to start a new integration from scratch. Why is this not the default landing page? I believe it used to be.

IFTTT is a great tool to have to get a number of things done

Kommentare: I use IFTTT regularly and find using it a great life and business hack.

Vorteile:

it is effective and pffers a number of pre-built recipes to get things done. Also its pro plan is priced aptly so its a great tool to have to run a number of automations.

Nachteile:

a number of triggers stopped a few years ago. Support for scoop.it is not there :(

IFTTT automating those mundane activities in your life

Kommentare: My experience with IFTTT has been great. I am able to automate tasks in my life making life a bit less hectic. I get a message when the meat in the fridge is running low so I know to make a purchase. Its so much more convenient.

Vorteile:

Now this app has allowed me to see the Internet of things coming to life in my daily life. Connecting devices is something you can do quite easily with this app. It makes your life just more convenient. Like you can integrate your fit bit to you kettle such that as soon as you wake up, your kettle boils water for your coffee. It automates daily mundane tasks among others and its free.

Nachteile:

We could not create multi-step functions. Maybe this is based on our own lack of skills but enquiring with others it seems this is not possible. If they could allow multi-step processes this would just make the software perfect.

If this, then that. So simple.

Kommentare: I use IFTTT to make my home and office smart. Lights, AC, coffee maker and blind sheets are set up on this amazing app.

Vorteile:

IFTTT was one of the first apps that really amused me. It lets you connect with over 700 services and devices and the creations are limitless. The community is really big, so you can learn and copy from others. It's better than Shortcuts.app from Apple.

Nachteile:

iOS is a close system, so IFTTT have limits. That's the only "bad" thing Im going to say about this amazing software.

Easy to Use and Integrate Processes

Vorteile:

IFTTT is a great application as it is set it and forget it. Once a function is programmed, I don't have to think about it again until I need the data. This streamlines a ton of processes and helps me stay focused on real work.

Nachteile:

I have no dislikes of this product. It has solved a problem for me in an efficient manner.

Best social media automation tool for digital marketers and content creators.

Kommentare: I truly love this software i can recommend any online business

Vorteile:

I like this tool because i can integrate with Facebook ,Twitter and even pinterest , this will be good for online digital marketers. With this tool i use rss feed and post to my social networks , i like the pricing anyone can start for free and set up automation , good for startup companies . This software you don't need to spend time to understand how to use it , good user interface.

Nachteile:

So far no complain from my side ,Thank you to the developer

IFTTT is a helpful time saving tool!

Vorteile:

What is great about using this tool in our company is that it allows us to take automation to the next level. In addition, it allowed us to start thinking about our daily work in a new way. How could we do more by doing less and automating more? It also allowed us to set up processes with email so that tracking numbers were sent out automatically and added to our inventory system!

Nachteile:

The only con I can think of now is that setting it up and testing it was a bit time-consuming. However, I'd like to add that I'm not an IT/Tech person so if I can do it I'm sure anyone who is more tech-savvy can do it in a snap.

Set it and Forget it

Kommentare: IFTTT recipes allow me to focus on my work rather than constantly check this or that or write myself a reminder to do x later. I use IFTTT for business and personal things and it keeps me productive and on-task while IFTTT does the work in the background.

Vorteile:

TONS of apps available for recipes! I've been using IFTTT for about three years or so, and the app keeps growing and offering more options for users. They make it easy to set up by taking you step by step through the recipe creation process and even recommend recipes based on what's trending, what other recipes you've created, etc. I periodically receive an email from IFTTT with new recipe suggestions. Always new and creative ones!

Nachteile:

If you're not careful, you can get lost in the rabbit hole of IFTTT recipes because there are so many! So this isn't actually a bad thing, but remember this app is to help you stay productive, so keep that in mind while browsing recipes.

I could write this review, or I could probably get IFTTT to do it for me. :)

Vorteile:

I'd want to say that I've been using IFTTT before anyone else knew about it. Okay, maybe not "anyone", but I've been using it since they only had a few channels, and thought it was the best thing ever. I know there are now different competitors out there that charge you for usage, but IFTTT is the O.G. of the task automation and linking up actions of the Internet of Things (IOT). Super easy to configure, and possibilities are endless.

Nachteile:

I've had some issues with IFTTT that the trigger wouldn't fire properly, but it's hard to pinpoint it to the software when it could be the case of hardware (in this case blink1).

Great!

Vorteile:

Love this app. There are so many apps available to use in your applets and they seem to constantly add new ones. Also like that we have the choice of copying applets made by others, copying and then modifying those made by others, or building our own from scratch.

Nachteile:

Would like a faster/more structured way to browse applets that others have made. Would also like to be able to get some kind of feedback/tips/help to figure out why some applets don’t seem to work or stopped working. Maybe that’s just a matter of a brief note or tip published by the creator (or anyone?) on the applet details page.

The Gateway app for Automation

Vorteile:

Although IFTTT is the most basic automation platform, the simple UI offers benefits that other apps can’t. - Picking the pre-made triggers is easiest on this platform. - it’s like, shopping for automations - simple UI offers automation ideas that you haven’t thought of Integrates with other Automation tools (Drafts5 & Workflow) to complete advanced automations

Nachteile:

None. But, actions/triggers are limited to whatever is available by the software companies. So, can’t customize with additional coding, like zapier’s formatter. But I’m not a programmer and can barely write JavaScript

Your Own Personal Secretary

Kommentare: I have my personal secretary using this tool in my pocket, running on its own in the background, making my life easier.

Vorteile:

It's easy to set up and use, and once you do, its automation is the most powerful out there. Any two things you want to link together can be done using this tool. Emails, notes, messages, home control, ordering a taxi, setting up alarms and reminders...you name it.

Nachteile:

If the link you want is not already created in their available library, you need to set it up yourself, which can be tricky sometimes. Creating loops is possible, which can accumulate junk email in your inbox for instance.
