### "Unlock Automation Possibilities with IFTTT"

March 9, 2023

5.0

Overall, IFTTT is an excellent tool for automating a wide range of tasks. Its simple setup, vast range of applets, and ability to create custom applets make it a great choice for streamlining your digital life. The only downside is that it can be unreliable at times, and the range of services it can integrate with is limited. However, if you are willing to put up with these issues, IFTTT is a great tool for automation.

Pros

IFTTT is an incredibly powerful tool for automating a wide range of tasks. It is incredibly simple to set up and use, and it can make your life easier by taking care of tedious chores. The applets available to users are vast and cater to a variety of needs, and the ability to create your own applets is a great bonus. IFTTT is definitely a great tool for anyone looking to streamline their digital life.

Cons

The main issue with IFTTT is that it can be a bit unreliable. Applet triggers can sometimes fail to execute properly, and there is no way to be sure when this will happen. In addition, the range of services IFTTT can integrate with is limited, which can be a problem for users who require more custom solutions.

When compared to its alternatives, IFTTT stands out for its simplicity and comprehensiveness. It is incredibly easy to use and set up, and the range of applets available is far greater than other services. In addition, IFTTT's ability to create custom applets gives it an edge over its competitors, allowing users to customize their solutions to fit their needs. All in all, IFTTT is the best choice for anyone looking to automate their digital life.

### "The Forerunner that got left behind but still packs a mean punch"

April 29, 2022

3.0

I love it. I still use it for simple things where multi-steps aren't required. Nothing can beat that awestruck feeling of using automation for the first time and If This Then That is my first love affair with automation.

Pros

I first started using IFTTT years ago and found it fascinating because of how much it could do. It is great for managing connections to multiple devices and apps. The ability to have your home lights turn on when you arrive, or have the AC turn on at a specific time every day are all really cool and useful tasks that IFTTT performs perfectly.

Cons

IFTTT lags behind when it comes to multistep workflows the kind that Zapier, Integromat can handle quite easily. But what it does do, it does very well.

Reason for choosing IFTTT

I did not consider anything else.

### "Automation is now a childs play."

August 9, 2021

5.0

My basic use of the IFTTT is to give notification on Telegram whenever a new row is inserted in Google Sheet and IFTTT is doing the same quite flawlessly.

Pros

Easiness and straightforward approach make the IFTTT ahead of other available solutions, It took only 2 minutes to sign up and I am pretty sure in total 10 minutes your Alert system/Automation is ready to run. Even in the free account 3 number of automation tasks are free for life and with zero latency.

Cons

In the case of the Google sheet option available options are very limited like a change in single-cell value/Insert a new row where Zapier provides many more options.

Reason for choosing IFTTT

IFTTT is very easy to configure as compared to Zapier, on the same time Pabbly is having much more features but the same is not as economical as IFTTT.

### "Simply the best home automation toolset"

February 19, 2021

4.0

setting up home/office integrations that remove interruptions from the working day.

Pros

A wider range of connectors than anywhere else, and the simplest way to create most triggered actions. IFTTT pro now allows multi-step actions which would address most of the issues I had earlier.

Cons

being able to link to multiple accounts for triggers and actions would give me everything I really need from this now.

### "Such promise. Much undelivered."

July 29, 2021

3.0

My overall experience with IFTTT is a letdown. And I've held out hope for YEARS. Just couldn't make it useful from a business perspective.

Pros

I like the idea of IFTTT more than anything else. The UI is nice and clean.

Cons

The big disappointment in IFTTT is that is just doesn't do enough for professionals/business. Not only that, but trying to modify or edit the settings of an applet is difficult if not impossible. There's just not enough control.

### "Great automation software easy to use"

May 5, 2021

4.0

It has been great for making good automations with alexa and calendars in no time

Pros

I like that you can set up the steps needed for an automation even on your phone in less than a minute and get it working immediately

Cons

I would like to have more integrations for business software. It works great with commercial stuff like google, alexa, mail, etc. But on a larger business term like integrations of CRM, Mailchimp and Slack it falls short.

### "Easy to use Social Media Management"

June 14, 2020

5.0

I love this service and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to schedule posts for their social media marketing.

Pros

I love how easy this is to setup and get started. There is a free version and a premium version. Both options have much to offer. The customer support is amazing and the website also offers tutorials on how best to use the service to maximize your scheduling.

Cons

I love the software but the only thing I dislike is the time zone difference. The creator and the program is set up in a different time zone, so you have to adjust your posts to schedule in the time zone that best works for you.

IFTTT is better suited for the types of posts I would like to schedule and has algorithms built in to maximize your posts for better viewing.

### "Good Company"

June 12, 2025

4.0

The company is very good, but they could use a little better customer outreach and better oversight of the add ons or widgets that they offer.

Pros

This website helped me to automate an RSS feed for years and I was very pleased with the results that were given.

Cons

The add ons that I used did not work well after time, which was very disappointing because I came to depend on them.

### "Create Simple Automations With IFTTT"

April 23, 2025

4.0

Overall is good. Sometimes I get a little frustrated because the applets don't work and I have to create them again. But when it works it's seamless.

Pros

Easy to use and there are many apps you can connect it to. There are many applets or what they used to call them recipes you can create. If you're not sure what to create, they have ready made applets.

Cons

There's a free version but it's very limited. Creating the applets may be kind of intimidating to someone not familiar. There's sometimes a lag time and there are still bugs in some of the applets.

IFTTT is an amazing product that allows for a lot of automation of daily tasks.

Pros

The ability to customize a lot of commands in a easy web interface.

### "Long time user, one of my favourite apps. "

August 6, 2019

5.0

I'm able to save time and more importantly brain power by automating some of the more mundane and redundant tasks from my day to day using this awesome app.

Pros

I have been using IFTTT since shortly after it launched many years ago. It's a really powerful piece of software, connecting and automating your life beautifully. In recent years they have published more connections for smart homes, and this is where they really excel, though there are still a full plethora of apps available to connect with powerful triggers, tokens and variables. They have also done an amazing job of making it accessible to setup up, easy for just about anyone to understand.

Cons

If I could change one thing, it would be to allow a service to connect to more than one account. Sometimes this is incredibly limiting.

### "They don't make your apps snd sites....... They make them better"

August 18, 2022

5.0

Overall, i really like ifttt. There's a few issues, but the majority of the time it's pretty awesome

Pros

I can post to social media, without being there. Vital for the followers on other side of the world. It meshes with so many sites and apps so you can get a lot done, while getting a lot of other stuff done.

Cons

Sometimes it stalls out on me. Not too often, but it does. It doesn't work well with self hosted WP , ongoing issue. There's some services id like to make my own integrations for, but a few aren't so clear as to how to do that. It should also have a duplicate reminder, I've had it double posting before, and took days to figure it out, by that time damage was extensive

### "Streamline and Integration"

October 31, 2019

5.0

It's been a great time saver automating redundant tasks to free up time for non-mundane tasks.

Pros

IFTTT is a pretty awesome app that allows you to custom chain apps or functionalities to improve user experience. The app is integrated with all of your favourite software so it is one of the most relevant add-ons you can get. Your options are truly limitless as you bolt together manual functions and speed them up through automation. With the app you can: Use your phone's location to trigger your lights to turn on when you get home Take a screenshot of your phone's desktop and have it automatically upload to a folder on your favourite cloud like Google Drive, Drop Box, or One Drive. Use it with Microsoft Power apps to take advantage of its integration with SharePoint to update a field, or add a line to a spreadsheet Truly the options are limitless

Cons

You can't chain together multiple IFTTT statements or at least I'm yet to figure out how to....and the software seems limited for users to some predetermined functionality that is allowed. So, not all of the features of your favourite apps are necessarily integrated into IFTTT - so you need to do some research before buying an app of your intention is to chain it with IFTTT to another process.

Cons

a number of triggers stopped a few years ago. Support for scoop.it is not there :(

### "IFTTT automating those mundane activities in your life"

November 24, 2019

5.0

My experience with IFTTT has been great. I am able to automate tasks in my life making life a bit less hectic. I get a message when the meat in the fridge is running low so I know to make a purchase. Its so much more convenient.

Pros

Now this app has allowed me to see the Internet of things coming to life in my daily life. Connecting devices is something you can do quite easily with this app. It makes your life just more convenient. Like you can integrate your fit bit to you kettle such that as soon as you wake up, your kettle boils water for your coffee. It automates daily mundane tasks among others and its free.

Cons

We could not create multi-step functions. Maybe this is based on our own lack of skills but enquiring with others it seems this is not possible. If they could allow multi-step processes this would just make the software perfect.

### "My involvement in IFTTT was extremely certain"

January 3, 2023

5.0

IFTTT works in such countless ways that it's prospects are unending. From working with Salesforce, Google gadgets, Shrewd Home frameworks and other programming you can undoubtedly perform 1 order/undertaking and it will start one more assignment to get 2 birds with 1 stone basically. Most certainly one of the most outstanding items for home and business

Pros

The two choices bring a lot to the table. The client assistance is astounding and the site additionally offers instructional exercises on how best to utilize the help to expand your booking.

Cons

Perhaps I simply not getting it yet I battle sorting it out. I additionally have seen that the IFTTTs that I've made some of the time work and now and again don't.

Pros

I have used IFTTT for personal and business purposes. There are so many useful integration options that help you save so much time with social media management. I have all of my business social media integrated with my Instagram, so when I post there, it posts everywhere! The integrations are so easy to set up for almost anything.

Cons

I don't have a single complaint. IFTTT offers great service and customer service.

### "IFTTT is a helpful time saving tool!"

July 22, 2022

5.0

Pros

What is great about using this tool in our company is that it allows us to take automation to the next level. In addition, it allowed us to start thinking about our daily work in a new way. How could we do more by doing less and automating more? It also allowed us to set up processes with email so that tracking numbers were sent out automatically and added to our inventory system!

Cons

The only con I can think of now is that setting it up and testing it was a bit time-consuming. However, I'd like to add that I'm not an IT/Tech person so if I can do it I'm sure anyone who is more tech-savvy can do it in a snap.

Outstanding! I use it for both business and personal applications. It's been a lifesaver over the years!

Pros

IFTTT is basically a free version of Zapier for the everyday user. It allows us to integrate multiple software solutions/platforms to conduct business processes automatically, saving us tons of time and money.

Cons

Honestly, I have never had a single issue with IFTTT. The platform is easy to use, simple to set up, integrates with tons of different software solutions, and it's free!

June 29, 2022

4.0

It’s been incredibly useful. I’ve been with them so long, I’m on their legacy plan, and they’ve allowed me to maintain my internet presence during busy/difficult times when I would not have been able to find the time to do so myself. It’s super easy to create your own recipes.

Pros

The thing I love most about IFTTT is how much time it saves me, especially posting on social media.

Cons

There are two things that are a little disappointing: it doesn’t integrate with every software I would like and multiple accounts are only for the highest pricing tier.

April 21, 2020

5.0

We have not only kept our less popular social accounts active - but certain automated services have been so popular that the automated, but useful (not spam) social accounts have grown their engaged followers by over 300% - without any input from us

Pros

IFTTT allows you to easily links different social accounts, software and services to set up useful automated services. It's easy to use and has allowed us to keep many social network accounts active without having to manually login every day.

Cons

It would be great if there was an agency account - rather than having to create lots of separate logins.

Reason for choosing IFTTT

It's free and has loads of attached services
