What I appreciate most about IFTTT is how effortlessly it connects apps and services that otherwise wouldn't communicate with each other. As the founder of ScribaVerse, a digital publishing platform, I manage multiple tools simultaneously — Google Drive, Instagram, Mailchimp, RSS feeds, Telegram, and Notion — and IFTTT acts as the connective tissue between all of them. For example, I use it to automatically post new book listings from our platform's RSS feed to our social media channels, send Telegram notifications to our team when a new author submission arrives, and back up form responses to Google Sheets. The Pro plan's multi-step applets and filtering capabilities have been particularly valuable. Setting everything up is intuitive even without coding knowledge, and the library of pre-built applets saved me hours of initial configuration time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few limitations worth mentioning. The free plan has become quite restrictive over time — you can only run a limited number of applets, which pushes most serious users toward a paid subscription. Occasionally, applets can have a noticeable delay in triggering (sometimes several minutes), which makes IFTTT less suitable for time-sensitive automations. The advanced filtering and query features, while powerful, have a bit of a learning curve for users who aren't familiar with JavaScript. Also, some third-party integrations feel a bit outdated or are no longer actively maintained, which can lead to occasional sync errors that require manual reconnection.
