IFTTT
Almost everyone has already heard or read something about IFTTT (If This Then That), but many don’t know exactly what it is and what you can do with it. IFTTT is very extensive and is an ideal extension for the entire digital life.
IFTTT is a service on the Internet that you can access through both the web and via an IFTTT app. On IFTTT you can connect a variety of other services to perform various applets (formerly recipes). To precisely explain the operation of IFTTT we use some examples.
- Example 1: Upload each made Instagram photo automatically to Dropbox
- Example 2: Place all your tweets automatically on your Facebook account
- Example 3: As soon as the sun goes down you can turn on (all) HUE lights
- Example 4: When you upload a photo on Facebook, mention this on your Twitter
The above examples are just the tip of the iceberg, there are countless possible combinations. Literally translated IFTTT: If this than that, in short, when a certain event occurs IFTTT can follow up here. It sounds very complicated, but the effect is not so difficult.
