Simple applets that connect apps, services and smart home devices
IFTTT, short for If This Then That, links apps, web services and smart home devices through small automations called applets, such as saving social posts to a spreadsheet or turning on lights at sunset. It is aimed at consumers and creators more than complex business processes, with mobile apps that provide location and phone triggers. A free plan allows a few applets; paid plans add more and multi-step logic.
