How to find an Applet
There's millions of Applets on IFTTT, perhaps there's already one that does what you need! Check out our Get more section or do a search 🔎 on what you're looking for.
How to create an Applet
Still haven't found the right one? Try building your own Applet via ifttt.com/create. You can also access this by visiting the profile icon in the top right of ifttt.com and clicking Create. Any screen that has a banner stating Make more Applets from scratch will take you to the same place.
In the mobile app, you can select Get more from the main screen, and visit the Make more Applets from scratch banner.
Why do some services not appear as a "this" or a "that"?
Many services only have triggers (this) while some only have actions (that). For example, Google Assistant only supports triggers, so you won't see it as an action.
Why can't I make an Applet with a certain trigger/action combination?
We aim for full interoperability between services but not all actions and triggers can be designed to work together. There may be technical limitations based on the service, or the combination is something the service does not allow IFTTT to do.
For example, Twitter restricts the ways new tweets can be posted using IFTTT, and does not allow Applets to be created using the New tweet from a specific user trigger and the Post a tweet action.
💡Note: Due to the countless varieties of Applet combinations on IFTTT, we can't assist with making an individual Applet directly. Check out our help section on best practices or post a request in the communities of IFTTT experts on Reddit and Hackster.io. We encourage users to lean on those communities for help if you can't find a specific Applet configuration you're seeking, or if you need one custom built.
