An Applet is an automation you create on IFTTT where 'If This' happens (a trigger from one service), 'Then That' action occurs (an action in another service).

How many Applets can I have?

With the Free plan (IFTTT Standard), you can create up to 5 Applets. Paid plans allow for more custom Applets and advanced features.

Is IFTTT secure with my accounts?

IFTTT connects to services using secure OAuth tokens and does not store your passwords. It only requests the necessary permissions to perform the actions you specify in your Applets.

automation

IFTTT connects your favorite apps, services, and devices to create powerful automated workflows with simple "If This Then That" logic.

Try it out

Automation for everyday apps.

IFTTT (If This Then That) is a web-based service that allows users to create chains of simple conditional statements, called Applets. An Applet is triggered by changes that occur in one web service (the 'if this') and then executes an action in another web service (the 'then that'). It acts as a digital glue, enabling otherwise incompatible services and devices to communicate and interact, streamlining mundane tasks and enhancing smart home functionality through pre-built or custom recipes.

Pros

Supports a vast ecosystem of apps and devices, allowing for extensive automation possibilities.
User-friendly interface makes creating custom automations accessible even for non-technical users.
Provides a wide array of pre-built Applets for common automation needs, simplifying setup.

Cons

Reliance on third-party API stability can lead to Applet malfunctions without IFTTT's direct control.
Limited complexity in automation logic; doesn't support advanced branching or multiple conditional statements.
Some essential features or higher usage limits are locked behind a paid subscription.
