Automate Your Days with These 26 IFTTT Recipes

How many tasks does the average assistant complete in a day? And so often you find that those tasks come with a set of smaller tasks. Imagine if you could automate your subtasks, triggered by your main task. Well, IFTTT can do that for you (it stands for “If This, Then That” by the way) by using one action to trigger another (called recipes). It’s like your internet dreams have come true.
Our IFTTT tutorial gives you the tools to create custom recipes for your needs, but sometimes it’s hard to know what we want unless it’s shown to us. So here it is! A list of 26 recipes that we think can help you automate your daily life. Enjoy!
