Apple’s Private Relay (Hide My Email) is a privacy feature that lets you create randomly generated email addresses when signing into an app or website. These addresses forward emails to the email linked to your Apple ID, helping keep your real email private. You can read more about Hide My Email on Apple’s help center.

If you don’t select Hide My Email, your IFTTT account will be created using the email address linked to your Apple ID.
If you do select Hide My Email, Apple will generate a private relay address to receive emails from IFTTT related to your account.
These private relay addresses use the domain @privaterelay.appleid.com and include a randomly generated string before the @ sign. This is the email address associated with your IFTTT account.
