Overview

What is IFTTT?

IFTTT (If This Then That) is a no-code automation platform that connects 1,000+ apps, services, and smart home devices. Users build "Applets" simple workflows where a trigger in one app causes an action in another. Choose from hundreds of thousands of ready-made Applets or create your own in under a minute. It also offers AI services for summarizing, translating, and drafting content, plus IFTTT MCP so assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor can run automations for you. Available on web, iOS, and Android, with 10M+ mobile downloads across 190+ countries.
