Did the new IFTTT interest you? Here is how you can use it and make your life simpler. It’s a great invention to make your apps connected without actually connecting them. So, let’s get you started with it and give all the information you’ll possibly need about it.
About IFTTT
IFTTT stands for If This Then That and helps in linking or rather connecting the apps on your phone together. It’s a connectivity platform that allows different apps, devices, and services to work together in perfect harmony, and also in a supportive manner. By creating simple automations called Applets, you can make your life way more efficient. For instance, you could set it to automatically sync your Facebook posts to Pinterest and so much more. It can get really interesting and helpful, especially when you feel like you have to repeatedly do the same digital core over and over again.
Ways to use IFTTT
If you want to use IFTTT, then these are the ways that you can follow and make the most out of it.
Social Media Syncing
One of the most efficient and commonly used methods is to set it to automatically post your Instagram photos on Twitter, or even to sync your profile picture across all your professional platforms at once. You can also do the same for some posts.
Smart Home
You can let the lights work automatically when you approach the gate, or your dishwasher beeps when your devices do when the dishes are done. It is just an example, but there’s so much more that this feature can do.
Productivity Boosts
You can log your work hours in a Google Sheet every time you enter or leave your office building using your phone’s GPS. This can be so efficient in saving time and making the best out of it!
Safety & Alerts
Get a text message if your smart smoke detector goes off or simply get a unique notification for something that you’ve been expecting or is important to you.
Content Curation
Another interesting thing is to automatically save every song you “Like” on YouTube to a specific Spotify playlist and so much more.
Set a Timed Email
You can also set an alarm to send an email at a certain time to someone. This can be handy, especially when you may have other engagements during that time, limited or no connectivity, or absolutely anything.
These are some of the ways that you can make use of IFTTT. It is super helpful and can save a lot of your time.
