IFTTT: Automating Your Daily Life
Thankfully there is a magical things called "IFTTT". No this isn't the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). What IFTTT standards for is "IF This Then That". The system does just precisely what its name states. If a certain criteria is met, a certain action is then completed.
I hate backing up my photos from my phone. I would like them available on all of my devices. They have a "recipe" for that. Every picture I take will get backed up to a folder in my Google Drive.
The recipes that I use are to synchronize my social media posts. Nothing really fancy but it does save on having to repost across multiple sites. If you aren't using IFTTT, you should be. They connect anything from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Android, YouTube, Google Assistant and many Google products.
I find it hard to describe just how good this site is. One of my classmates suggested it to me this past fall and I absolutely love it. It has something for everybody. You name a function and it probably already exists. If it doesn't then you can make it!
