How do you set up an IFTTT Applet?

  • Log in to the IFTTT website or open the mobile app. Search for an Applet or a service you’d like to find a relevant Applet for, such as Instagram. Select the one you want to use. For instance, there’s an Applet that lets you tweet your Instagrams as native photos on Twitter. Click the “Turn on” button to turn on the Applet. IFTTT will ask for permission to access both your Instagram and Twitter. Click OK and then authorize access to each service. Once done, you’ll be brought back to the turned-on Applet on IFTTT. To view your Applets, select My Applets from the top of your IFTTT dashboard.

How do you create an IFTTT Applet?

  • Login to IFTTT’s website or open the mobile app. Select the ‘Create’ button on the home screen. Select ‘Add’ on the ‘If This’ section. Then search for a service and add your desired service. Connect the service to your IFTTT account, and choose a trigger. Next, choose the actions you want the Applet to perform by clicking the ‘Add’ button next to ‘Then That’ If you wish, you can add further actions, too. When complete, select ‘Continue’. You can then name your Applet, and you’re all done. Pretty easy, eh?

What are IFTTT widgets?

  • The Camera widget: Connects your phone’s camera to IFTTT and allows you to run Applets when you take photos. When you take a picture through the widget, the Applet will let you send it to a social site, back up to the cloud, or share it with team members. The Note widget: This allows you to write quick notes and run Applets that send them to email, your calendar, Twitter, etc. It’s a simple way to add content to a notebook, to-do list, calendar, or even a Spotify playlist. The Button widget: Connects to other services with Applets and acts as a remote control. You can use it to toggle your lights, log your location, or trigger a phone call.
