This app can automate your life!
This is one of the coolest apps I've ever tried, because it can totally automate a lot of things in your work and personal life. Give it a try, you'll be amazed.
PROSYou can use IFTTT (If This Then That) via web or app. I mainly use the Android app, and it works great. There are literally thousands of "recipes" that you can use to cook up some great automation. Examples include creating a daily Google Sheet of the temperature that day, disabling Wi-Fi and bluetooth when your phone battery gets low, etc. You can either use existing "recipes" that others have created, or you can create your own. Very handy app!
CONSSometimes the possibilities seem a little daunting to me, but you just need to use what you understand and need. Don't let it overwhelm you.

Simply the best home automation toolset
setting up home/office integrations that remove interruptions from the working day.
PROSA 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.
CONSbeing able to link to multiple accounts for triggers and actions would give me everything I really need from this now.
Reason for choosing IFTTT
I use both, one for business workflows and the other for IoT automation

Such promise. Much undelivered.
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.
PROSI like the idea of IFTTT more than anything else. The UI is nice and clean.
CONSThe 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.
Reasons for switching to IFTTT
I was hoping for greater simplicity and more connected apps.

Scale your Content Management activity
I have been able to multiply my content management strategies for over 20 clients within the last 2 years and be able to create more time for other activities in the business that I run. I hope to eventually have a smart House type of lifestyle whereby activity, creation and management are all in sync and working simultaneously
PROSTime is exponentially managed and saved based on all the automations running at once and assisting me with content management after I spend hours or multiple sessions doing content creation.
CONSThere's no issue but having too much on the Internet of things and not enough on the software as a service platforms.

Amazing program!
IFTTT works in so many ways that it's possibilities are endless. From working with Salesforce, Google devices, Smart Home systems and other software you can easily perform 1 command/task and it will initiate another task to essentially get 2 birds with 1 stone. Definitely one of the best products for home and business
PROSI love how IFTTT works with SO many different systems. I am all about automating processes as much as possible and IFTTT works great to make routines so simple
CONSI wish that I could use 1 command to do multiple tasks. With IFTTT you can only automate 1 task but it is possible to make 1 command do other tasks with the same command but it is a tedious process

Automation in Your Finger Tip
In my 6 years of digital marketing experience, I have come across different automation tools but IFTTT holds its place in my list because this was the first tool that made my work easy and automated. I just love creating new automation recipes to track and post my and other's works. Its integration with Google products is really productive and I'm really a big fan of Google Sheet and all Drive products.
PROSBasically, I am from a technical background and I love If Else statement they have used for creating automation recipes. By creating and connecting your accounts you can automate almost anything using IFTTT and the integration list is getting bigger and bigger day by day.
CONSThere are some bugs still existing like few days back I wanted to post something from my feed to a specific Facebook page but the system was not allowing me to choose my desired page to create the recipe. Otherwise, I'm a regular user of IFTTT.

This recipes are unlimited
I use IFTTT to wake up everyday. It starts my lights, music and coffeemaker so it's easier for me.
PROSIFTTT started a few years ago a movement supporting the Internet of Things and never stopped. It has a lot of recipes already created to work with more than 200 devices and apps. Also, you can create and customise yours. Is one of the best apps on the market (not only of it's category).
CONSDue to iOS, it doesn't work great with iPhones, iPads, Homepods or Macbooks. It does the job, but is not unlimited.

If this, then that. So simple.
I use IFTTT to make my home and office smart. Lights, AC, coffee maker and blind sheets are set up on this amazing app.
PROSIFTTT 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.
CONSiOS is a close system, so IFTTT have limits. That's the only "bad" thing Im going to say about this amazing software.

Amazing and So Cool
It is been amazing and know that we have it set up I hope it does not go away. We depend on it every day.
PROSThe ability to move data from one product to another product has never been so easy and helpful. We take video content from our Ring Doorbell and move it over to other application or spreadsheets super easy.
CONSI wish that they had other applications/software tools that could use with this software. It looks like it is more consumer foreclosed than it is for business. I still use Zapier for some of my business stuff.
Reason for choosing IFTTT
We still use Zapier but IFTT is a nice to have as an addition.

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

The Essential Smart Home Tool
Overall IFTTT is an essential part of anyone's smart home. Our current devices are very limited to what actions they can execute, but with IFTTT your entire smart home comes together with more unison. It makes the smart home experience flow more smoothly and you have access to hundreds of more features and triggers than if your smart home devices just worked independently of each other.
PROSIFTTT is a necessary part of any smart home. This software gives you the ability to connect the services you use in your home like Eufy, Nest, Phillips, Smart Life, Google Assistant etc. You are able to easily create triggers that make other things happen. So if you say "I am home" you could trigger the lights, AC, and turn on the TV all with just one simple phrase. I love how easily it streamlines your smart home experience. One of the best features is just how many products it supports, there are hundreds of services that you can link to IFTTT so it is likely that the devices you use will be featured there.
CONSI do wish that when a command could not properly be executed it notifies me either on my Google Assistant or on my phone. I also have had issues with some services not providing all of their features as triggers or actions, which can make actions more difficult to create.

IFTTT is key to my Social Media strategy
I have been using the app since 2016 and have loved how much I can do with it. Not only is it an app that helps my social media strategy out but also keeps me organized. It’s really a set it and forget it platform. If anything, try it out for yourself. That’s what I did and haven’t looked back since.
PROSThere are so many options to link info between social media platforms as well as others apps/programs to keep me updated
CONSSome platforms make you re-initiate their service and you have to log back in to reactive. This can cause miss posts, but it is an easy fix to log into the app and turn it back on to work again.
Reasons for switching to IFTTT
Price and ease of use.

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

Long time user, one of my favourite apps.
I'm able to save time and more importantly brain power by automating some of the more mundane and redundant tasks from my day to day using this awesome app.
PROSI have been using IFTTT since shortly after it launched many years ago. It's a really powerful piece of software, connecting and automating your life beautifully. In recent years they have published more connections for smart homes, and this is where they really excel, though there are still a full plethora of apps available to connect with powerful triggers, tokens and variables. They have also done an amazing job of making it accessible to setup up, easy for just about anyone to understand.
CONSIf I could change one thing, it would be to allow a service to connect to more than one account. Sometimes this is incredibly limiting.

Review IFTTT
The use of the application allows a fairly easy and simple handling. The application itself does not bug, the updates are not recurrent therefore safe and quality value to this application. For my part I strongly recommend IFTTT .
PROSWhat is good with IFTTT is that there is a free version it is last allowed to try the application with a fairly limited programming tends that the paid version finishes programming in unlimited which is a plus by compared to competition . The ease of programming apps with IFTTT is very simple. Automation at home is a real plus and a breeze.
CONSThe negative side of IFTTT is that since the arrival of the paid version, the free version is much more limited, that is to say three applets to use the application, it does very little for a perfect use of this application. obligation to switch to the paid version.

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

Digital and mobile integrator in real life
Everyday, a picture from my google photos is set as my mobile phone's wallpaper. Every night it mutes my phone and volumes up in the morning. When I add a new picture to Instagram, it saves it to Google Photos.
PROSThe best thing is that it is mobile. It works on all mobile platforms. It is easy to use. It is just like a drag and drop game to create. Its interface is really wide and has big icosns so it is nice for people like me having eye problems.
CONSPricing model would be something more payable such as price per applet model. Because 3 applet is not too much for free. It can be 10. There is Pinterest connection problem.

Great!
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.
CONSWould 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.

Fantastic automation solution
IFTTT has integrations with pretty much any service you can think of and facilitates setting up chained actions. "If I get a Gmail email then send X to this other service". It can deal with home automation solutions or pure SaaS products as well. Overall IFTTT has saved me a significant amount of time in manual processes that I've automated with it.
CONSIFTTT could beef up some of their debugging and troubleshooting options - when a given flow isn't working it's not always obvious at first why your flow is failing.

IFTTT automating those mundane activities in your life
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.
PROSNow 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.
CONSWe 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.

Automation in your service. Search no more!
It makes your life much more easy - you connect services and then you make simple rules that works for you. For example: IF you post status update on facebook IFTTT can automaticly post it on your facebook. Trigger and action can be almost anything - call, sms, email and so on. Definitely worth checking!
CONSFor my biggest problem is that you can only do one thing at a time. If one trigger could run more actions it would be perfect!
