Who uses IFTTT? Individuals with smart homes who want to connect their various devices and businesses looking to automate social media and productivity workflows

IFTTT, which stands for If This Then That, is an automation tool for business and home that lets you integrate various web services and devices without coding. By setting up “applets” (mini automations), you define triggers in one app (the “If” part) that automatically activate actions in another app (the “Then” part). You can customize and control your integrations with filter code, queries, and multiple actions.

“The user interface and the app are easy to understand and use. Integrating services is as easy as signing in with the click of a button.
