Here at IFTTT we have multiple email services, and we also link your account to an email address. Theoretically, a user could have one email address linked to their account, and different emails linked to the Gmail service, the Email service and the email digest service. The following is an outline on the difference between the Email services, and how to update your email for each.
Your IFTTT account email
You can head to https://ifttt.com/settings or web, or tap the profile icon on mobile to access your account settings. Under the Email field, you will find the email address linked to your IFTTT account.
To update this email:
- Erase the address currently listed there and enter your new email address.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and press Update.
- You will receive an email with a link to confirm the change.
The Gmail service
The Gmail service works specifically with Google accounts. It has two actions, send an email and send yourself an email.
To update this email:
- Head to ifttt.com/gmail/settings, and click Reconnect on the account currently listed there.
- Click sign in with google and add the desired account.
- Click Allow.
Multi-account
If you are a Pro+ user, you can add multiple Google accounts. This will allow you to choose a specific Google account for each Applet. You can change the Google account used in an Applet by going to the Applet's settings, clicking on the action, and selecting from the Gmail account dropdown.
The Email Service
The Email service is similar to Gmail, however it allows for any email address to be added. This service also includes triggers, allowing you to send an email to trigger@applet.ifttt.com to trigger an Applet.
The Email service doesn't support Multi-account, so you can only add one email connection at a time.
To update this email:
- Head to ifttt.com/email/settings, and click reconnect.
- Enter the email address you want to use.
- Copy and paste the four digit code from your email to verify the account.
- Any Applets using the Email service for a trigger or action will now be connected to the new account.
The Email Digest Service
The Email Digest service will send you a customized daily or weekly email full of information you've specified. You can create multiple Applets using triggers for information-based services like RSS feed, Finance, Wall Street Journal, and link each one to an Email digest action. The Email Digest service will then compile all of this info into your daily or weekly email.
Like the Email service, Email Digest does not support Multi-account.
To update this email:
- Head to ifttt.com/email_digest/settings, and click reconnect.
- Enter the email address you want to use.
- Copy and paste the four digit code from your email to verify the account.
- Any Applets using Email Digest will now be connected to the new account.
