To get the most value from IFTTT, it’s best to stay connected with the latest updates, share your ideas for new features, and engage with the community. This guide covers practical ways to keep your Applets running smoothly, discover new tools, and make sure your voice is heard. Whether you’re managing multiple automations or just getting started with a few, these tips will help you get the best experience possible.
Subscribing to Updates
To stay informed and make sure you’re getting the most out of IFTTT, it’s a good idea to subscribe to updates from your account settings. Visit ifttt.com/account and scroll to the Communication Preferences section.
You can choose to receive any or all of the following:
-
Important alerts for your account. These include notifications about issues affecting your Applets or connected services, with guidance on how to resolve them.
-
Newsletters, tips, and new features. Get announcements about new services, Applets, and ways to use IFTTT more effectively.
-
Promotions and discounts. Receive exclusive offers for IFTTT-compatible products and partner services.
-
Beta opportunities. Join our beta program to test pre-release versions of the IFTTT app and new services before they’re publicly available.
Adjusting these preferences only takes a moment and ensures you’re always in the loop with the updates that matter most to you.
Leaving Feedback
If you find a service missing a Trigger, Query, or Action that would improve your automations, you can easily suggest it.
On any service page, under the Details tab, you’ll find an option to leave feedback via the Suggest new button. Your suggestions are sent directly to the service’s administrators for consideration in future updates.
