What is IFTTT?
The platform's name stands for "If This Then That", which literally means "If this happens, then do that". IFTTT is a platform that, by connecting different external services, allows us to automate our daily actions, from the easiest to the most complicated. It allows you to create Applets, which means combinations of events, where you can choose both triggers, i.e. what triggers the automation, and actions, i.e. the action that will be triggered. Basically, IFTTT helps apps and devices to work in synergy.

What can you do with IFTTT?
Each user can choose to create custom combinations or use an applet available within the IFTTT library. This is what makes IFTTT such an open and potentially infinite ecosystem. In fact, if you don't find the applet that meets your needs within the library of applets already created by other users, you can create more and allow others to use them if they have the same need.

How does IFTTT work?
It could be used either through the website or as an app. In both cases the interface is very simple and intuitive. As mentioned previously, it is possible to use an applet already created by others in the library, or to create one from the beginning.

In the first case, once the applet has been identified, just click "Turn on" and log in with your account to the two services involved.

To create a new applet you need to go to the "My Applets" section and click on "New Applet" (or alternatively on "+" if you are using the app). First you have to define the trigger (This), choosing a service and an action that will trigger the automation. Then you will choose the "That", i.e. a service and an action that you need, from those provided by IFTTT. Once you have completed this process, the Applet will appear in your personal list.

One of the areas where IFTTT can make a difference is home automation, which is why Freedompro has created a family of products compatible with it.
