HOW TO USE IFTTT
TO AUTOMATE
SOCIAL MEDIA
SELECTIVELY
What is
IF
This
Then
That
It automates
service for all
your internet-
connected things
It is
pronounced
like "gift" but
without the "g"
It is both a
website and a
mobile app
What are
Recipes?
Recipes are
simple
connections
between
products & apps
There are 2
kinds of
recipes
The IF Recipe
The DO Recipe
The DO
Recipe runs
with just a tap
on your phone
It enables you to
create Button,
Camera &
Notepad
DO apps are
available for
Android & iOS
The IF recipes run
automatically
in the
background
It creates one
powerful
statement using
"If This Then That"
Like this statement
It supports over
300 services
which are called
"channels"
The numerous
combinations of
channels are
called "recipes"
Channels are
the basic
building blocks
of recipes
Each channel
has its own
triggers and
actions
Trigger is the
if part of the
IF recipe
Action is the
then part of
the IF recipe
Pieces of data
from a trigger
are called
Ingredients
You will
encounter these
terms as we go
along with the
tutorial!
