IFTTT Reviews & Product Details

one of the many things I like about IFTTT is the ability for it to connect to google sheets for data logging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the only thing that I do not enjoy about IFTTT is the limit of 3 widgets but is not that bad of a restriction and it makes sense why they need it to make money. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can automate so much of your digital world. If there was a program that could listen to one program and then talk to another program and tell it what to do...you’d have IFTTT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really don’t dislike much about it.

I only wish more and more programs I use would have IFTTT integrations. It would make things even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely love the fact that I can create my OWN connections in IFTTT. Yes, there are many recipes that are useful to me, but having a choice in how I connect apps is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes apps I use don't exist in IFTT so I can't connect them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IFTTT is very much like a cooler version of Zapier but with a whole different approach. For entrepreneurs looking to expand the reach of their content marketing efforts, I recommend IFTTT to them for duplicating content from one social channel to others. It is great for triggers and alerts as well, which I use in my business to generate notifications for account activity on Stripe! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more business use cases and integrations on IFTTT. Getting into more niche API integrations could definitely serve IFTTT much better. Also expanding the triggers and actions of their existing app integrations is key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can automated some simple tasks, like adding new email contacts to a spreadsheet . It helps allow me the ability to focus on more important matters Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very simple in it's explanation, where I'm not sure how it's connect or how it will work. It would be good to test out functions before I went ahead and went full speed ahead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has enough integrations with services, as well as apps for every platform, so it can be used between devices which is very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some integrations are weak, for example, creating a card in Trello doesn't allow line breaks in a description of the card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can connect my social media platforms, website, and email funnel seamlessly. It saves me loads of time. Every time I create one piece of content, IFTTT sends it to all of my platforms at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could create more custom actions instead of just choose from the library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use this primarily to automatically repost anything I put up on Instagram to my Facebook business page. It saves me a lot of time as it would take me twice as long to go back and add everything I had already put up on Instagram to my Facebook page but IFTTT allows me to do it automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all the applets work the way they're supposed to and sometimes the one I've chosen has not been updated and I will have to choose another one. I haven't gotten too much downtime from this though, so it's really not that big a deal. The pros far outweigh the cons as far as I am concerned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have business accounts with Facebook, Instagram and Etsy so it can get pretty tedious reposting the same content to each platform, especially when working on a phone! My most used applet is one that takes whatever I have posted to my Instagram account and automatically reposts it to my Facebook business page, cutting my workload for reposts in half. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. I love this platform, it is immensely valuable to me and my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Creating google voice commands using IFTTT allows for incredibly fun automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way to link one command to multiple "thats" or include some filters so that "this" commands could be limited by time of day or only if another this is true. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This allows you to set up reactions for certain things. Notifications for bad weather or Bill signings all the way to getting a text if I get a certain email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can clog your email pdq with certain ifttt options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've probably gotten back 2 hours a day from the triggers I have set up on the platform, and in a lot of ways just made a more streamlined workflow. Community-sourced triggers help you think of additional possibilities. For a free service, it's fantastic, and really don't think you could ask for more. The service channels are wide and varied and suit both personal and professional life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As great as the community sourcing is, sometimes it can really distract you from what you came there to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everybody in these days relies on multiple web services: Gmail, Google Docs, Evernote, the stock iOS or Android apps, and all these pretty devices connected in the Internet of Things ... What IFTTT does is linking them together, through a system of applets made by the user in a very simple way (no need for programming, it's really, really intuitive). As an example, IFTTT could automatically send a completed iOS reminder to a Google Calendar, to keep track of its completion, or turn off the home lights when your phone is at a given distance form home... The possibilities are endless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free version has a certain lag in some cases, and one should beware about critical tasks since they could for some reason fail. But in general the system is robust and does its tasks well. Sometimes you may wish some other service. They are added over time, try to pull a request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely love the simplicity that IFTTT provides to both people who love tech, and those who struggle with using tech. Setting up an account and connecting apps has never been easier, nor has setting up applets and commands using the multitude of different options available. There is definitely a bit of foreknowledge required to build your own applets, however there are numerous pre-made applets available that are easy to copy and recreate on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I definitely miss multi-step applets, similar to those that can be run on competitors, such as Zapier. Also, while there are numerous integrations available, it would be beneficial to see those increase, and to see the existant ones receive further functions (such as Android device; the ability to play a playlist, connect to a google cast device; Google Calendar integrations that go into further detail, like on Zapier) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to use IFTTT to create applets that automatically run that I use to distribute my social media posts over the different social networks I use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really isn't anything that I dislike with IFTTT, at least for what I use it for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the shortcuts this creates. I use a lot of social media apps and having the ability to post on one and then it link to others it works well. Also the ability to automatically backup or move photos to the cloud storage is particularly useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not everything is supported, and I get envious of the many new technological advances that I don't yet have when I see them listed in the applet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to integrate various unrelated software. It truly has an enormous variety of programs that it can work with. I also like the ability to automate certain functions such as silencing my phone based on my location. I like the fact that it can also work with smartphones, using phone notifications as possible actions to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Each software has certain triggers and actions to choose from when customizing what you want to happen. I just wish there were more triggers and actions available, since for some programs, it seems that the options are a bit limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IFTTT allows our team to enter social media automation and focus on the central work that we are doing. After setting up the profile on IFTTT we can create one post and the recipes do all the heavy lifting. Its great that we can also create, as users, our own recipes to the tools we use the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i dislike the need for IFTTT to hash-tag all the posts. We would happily pay for that not to be part of the final posts there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can set up any type of reminder for text or email, based on an event or on a regular time schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when I get the IFTTT message, it is jumbled with multiple links that can get confusing. Once I got accustomed to using it, I just ignore those links mostly. I also adjusted the actual data I put into the IFTTT to be more comprehensive, with the link issue in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the number of brands that integrate well with IFTTT. From Appliances, business and education tools there's almost nothing you can't integrate. I like the fact almost every social media platforms can be all triggered which is a great time saver. It's my go to app when I'm away from my desktop as I can manage my IFTTT activity via mobile and tablet,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the fact that on some of the triggers for social media that you have to add a image url instead of being able to upload it directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can use IFTTT to make up for the short comings of other social media scheduling programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to forget it's even there working away in the background doing what you told it to do when you try to troubleshoot some other social media scheduling issue...and then things get confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. The applets you use are well-organized and the suggested applets are often very useful once IFTTT figures out more or less what you're looking for on its platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IFTTT is definitely set up more for personal than business use, with most of the applets focusing on connecting social media accounts and in-home automated devices like Amazon Echo, Hue lights, Nest thermostats, etc. If you're looking for something for automating business processes that has a more robust offering of integrated programs than Gmail and to-do lists, this may not be the right automation tool for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's the most comprehensive way to automate a wide variety of tasks that involves no coding and let's you integrate nearly endless choices of platforms, software and systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's certainly not the most user friendly system. There is definitely a big learning curve acting as barrier to entry with IFTTT. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

La facilidad con la que se pueden automatizar procesos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Que ciertas aplicaciones (como One Day) solo permitan el uso de IFTTT en su versión premium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I initially signed up for IFTTT to post my Facebook posts and tweets at the same time. I found another service better meant for that, but I still use IFTTT for business and personal use. I love that there are so many "recipes" pre-made and ones you can create yourself. It connects a lot of sites and apps that normally don't work together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some limits to what IFTTT can do. Some of the things I dream up for it to do, it can't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
