You started with one sentence and now have two working Applets. Here’s what each chapter added:
- Create your first Applet with IFTTT Chat: a calendar Applet that sends a notification 15 minutes before every event, built by typing a sentence into IFTTT Chat.
- Build an Applet with Classic: a YouTube and Spotify Applet that adds songs you like to a playlist, built by choosing the Trigger and Action yourself.
- The building blocks of an Applet: the Trigger, ingredients, and Action inside both of them, and what happens each time one runs.
- Connect and manage your services: what Spotify’s permission screen asks you to agree to, and how to remove a connection.
- Adding ingredients to your Applets: how the Add ingredient button puts an event’s title, start time, or video call link into a message.
- Managing and fixing your Applets: where to look when an Applet doesn’t do what you expected.
The next time a call is 15 minutes out, your phone will buzz, just like Marcus’, and the next song you like on YouTube will land in your playlist, like Leila’s. Change either Applet with Edit Applet in My Applets, or describe a new one in the prompt box on the homepage.
Ready for more? Check out our other courses, starting with Power Automator. It picks up right after Essentials, with Applets that do more than one thing per Trigger, wait before acting, ask a connected service a question, skip some Triggers, and remember a value between runs.
Thanks for building along with us. We can’t wait to see what you’ll make next!
