You have to be aware that the service may stop working without prior notice, especially when password changes are made to users, which is quite cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to automate so many different apps in one location Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough apps available for automation. 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.

The best thing about IFTTT is that they offer a marketplace of automation. You can always be sure that the toggle's are legit by the verification mark of companies. For example, for one of my clients we utilize the youtube to tumblr tool, so when ever we make a post on our youtube, it will automatically upload to Tumblr. It isn't just for business, I use it personally with some home automation apps around my house, to set specific details on times and other aspects of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish they had the option to have people request different tools, but they are still very good. 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.

Simple consumer/pro-sumer service that makes it easy to set alerts and action chains, such as an email when it's going to rain at a site. The interface is simple for a broad number of people to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has not been production-ready. Seemingly obvious events have been missed (not clear if it's a spam filter or bad input data) and there are not pro-level debugging tools. 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.

Is a web-based productivity tool that allows you to interconnect websites and your mobile devices in order to automate tasks. When one thing happens, IFTTT lets you create an automatic reaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IFTTT can be complicated to first time users. The interface is user-friendly but the technical know-how is kind of tricky. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first thing I noticed about IFTTT was how easy it is to use. I use it to promote posts, record data about incoming and outgoing calls and backup images from my Android phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, I've not really found anything I don't like. Both the web site and the Android app would well and are fairly trouble free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the opportunity to add rules that allow me to have certain photos that I take around my work to a specific file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little tricky to setup, but doesn't take much time. It also very customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For simple logic connections between apps and services IFTTT is brilliant. It's very easy to set up "applets" to connect services and simplify my life and work considerably. For example, I have set up applets that automatically add native posts from Twitter (my preferred social network) to Facebook and LinkedIn. This allows me to simplify my social media content flow and still reach people I care about who prefer those other networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The logic is usually restricted to a simple "if this then that" formula. Sometimes more complex equations would be very helpful. For example, I have to have separate applets for each social media service I use when I could combine all of them into one "recipe" with a little more complexity. Sometimes the services I want to connect are not available and/or the actions I want to trigger or act on are not available within the service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy guided setup to create automations, have multiple services setup as triggers to handle social media postings and home security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I created a few useful automations, some of the suggested "predefine" automations are not actually useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that is I forget to post on my website, IFTTT remembers and does it for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It doesnt post all of my descriptions and hashtags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Huge array of services (channels) that can integrate with this platform, with lots of example 'recipes' from the community to inspire ideas.

- Allows integration between two different services (channels) with ease without the need for any programming knowledge or similar in a 'set and forget' style way.

- Mostly free to use.

- More suited to the average user than businesses.

- For some services the range of 'ifs' and 'thats' can be somewhat limited.

- Due to the 'set and forget' nature of the service it's sometimes hard to remember the recipes that you have enabled. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(I'm reviewing here the web-based IFTTT, not the Android app.) IFTTT is one of my favourite tools to "tame" the increasingly complex portfolio of web services I use almost on a daily basis. It has a lot of available services that you can combine with a simple logic: If "something" happens, than I want something else (from another service) to happen. The only limit is your creativity. Luckily enough, IFTTT offers a good number of pre-configured "recipes" (as they're called) that you can make use of in your routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having so many possibilities and many services, sometimes it is not clear whether a service connection fails due to IFTTT or the original service. The fact is that sometimes some recipes don't work as expected (they're never or randomly triggered). Another drawback is that the whole system depends on the availability of external systems, so if one decides to withdraw API support or not to allow IFTTT, your recipe will stop working. This said, those glitches are not very common and generally IFTTT does what it says. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use and integrates with other applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some apps we use in business are not yet on IFTTT Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IFTTT is a very interesting concept. I love the ability to have different platforms interact with each other, and I love the community aspect, benefiting from the creativity of others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This can be a very difficult platform to learn how to REALLY get the most out of, and a lot of it is just personal daily use and convenience things, such as home automation. Don't get me wrong, that's great and all, but not the best tool, necessarily, for enterprise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a simple, recipe-based tool for connecting various services and products. We're able to accomplish things that individual products simply could never do, because this functions as a switchboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The recent changes to some of the main services almost made it more difficult to create your own recipes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automation of mundane tasks. one less thing to worry about in my mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

there's been a few occasions where the automation didn't work. didn't have time to figure out why but most of the time it works OK. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IFTTT is a swiss army knife of interconnectivity among various Internet services. It enables the very straightforward integration of all sorts of data sources and physical device that never imagined that they'd be connected together. Simple integrations are very, very easy to implement, and you can do in minutes what would take hours if you coded straight to vendor APIs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The logic that you can embed in IFTTT with the standard interface is relatively simple, and it's not a complete programming language. It's very easy to wish to do something complicated that it looks like IFTTT might be able to do that you can't quite accomplish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a free tool, it's great when it works, but some recipes/applets don't seem to work reliably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
