“Work Automation Series Part 3: Enhanced Device Control Service with AI”
Hello, today we’re going to introduce a platform that has been widely known to us since 2010, right? It’s famous for Internet of Things automation, such as turning lights on and off with a mobile phone, adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, and more. It’s about IFTTT.
IFTTT was founded in 2010 by Linden Tibbets and his colleague. The initial purpose of the founding was to connect various internet services to each other using simple conditional statements. This was to automate repetitive tasks in daily life and simplify interactions between various digital services.
“IFTTT” stands for “If This Then That,” a web-based service. This service allows for automated tasks by creating conditional commands between various apps, services, and devices. Users can set up simple conditional commands called “applets,” so that when a specific event occurs in one service, a specific action is automatically performed in another service.
IFTTT (If This Then That) is a web-based service that allows users to connect various internet services and create conditional commands, i.e., ‘applets.’ Users can automate tasks of various internet services through the command ‘If this happens, then do that.’
IFTTT (If This Then That) is a web-based service that simplifies daily tasks by creating automated connections (applets) between various apps, services, and devices. This service allows users to create custom applets or use existing ones. For example, with IFTTT, you can set up a task like “if a new photo is posted on Instagram, automatically share it on Twitter too.”
IFTTT provides services through various ‘channels’ (now referred to as ‘services’), which include social media networks, smart home devices, and cloud storage services. Users can connect these services to create their own applets, enabling specific tasks to be automatically executed when certain conditions are met between two services.
Over time, IFTTT has expanded its user base and range of services, now offering numerous applets compatible with thousands of services. This provides various automation solutions not only for individual users but also for business users. This approach of IFTTT is considered a case that shows the importance of interconnectivity and automation in the digital world.
For example, you can automate the following tasks using IFTTT:
Social Media Integration: Automatically share a new photo on Twitter or Facebook every time you post a new photo on Instagram. Smart Home Automation: Automatically turn on or off smart bulbs at a specific time. Weather Alerts: Receive an email notification at a specific time in the evening if it’s going to rain tomorrow. Location-based Tasks: Automatically add an item to your to-do list when you arrive at a specific location. IFTTT offers a vast library connecting various web services and devices labeled as “services” (e.g., Gmail, Twitter, Philips Hue, SmartThings, etc.). Users can create their own applets based on these services or use applets created by other users.
IFTTT helps users automate repetitive tasks to save time and enhance efficiency in daily life. It offers both free and premium account options, providing more features and advanced customization options.
Additionally, here are some interesting applets offered by IFTTT:
YouTube Script Automation: Automate tasks related to YouTube scripts with IFTTT’s AI YouTube Assistant. iOS Photos: An applet that automatically saves screenshots captured on an iOS device to a separate album. NASA Image of the Day: An applet that automatically adds the image of the day from NASA to your iOS Reading List. iOS Reminders: A widget feature that allows you to quickly add notes to iOS Reminders. Daily Quotes from BrainyQuote: An applet that sends the daily quote from BrainyQuote as a notification to your phone. Automation for Small Businesses: Recommendations for 7 repetitive tasks that small businesses should automate in 2024. Exchange Rate Alerts: An applet that sends the latest exchange rate between two currencies as a mobile notification. Weather Underground Alerts: An applet that sends a mobile notification if it’s going to rain tomorrow. Besides, IFTTT provides thousands of applets that can be used in various fields, such as controlling smart home devices, automating social media activities, improving work efficiency, and enhancing personal productivity. Work automation is essential for realizing better work efficiency and productivity. IFTTT is a useful tool that allows various apps and services to be linked through simple conditional commands, automating routine tasks and helping employees focus on more important work. Optimize your work processes and create a more efficient work environment using IFTTT.
