IFTTT is launching a well-designed and useful app on Android that aims to help automate your Internet life. If you haven’t dove into the vast world of IFTTT it may be a bit overwhelming at first, but the premise is pretty simple. Considering that we don’t live in a perfect world and therefore services and functions across the Internet don’t always talk to each other, IFTTT helps bridge the gap between everything you do online.
The premise is simple — you create “recipes” that work by linking a trigger (aka “if this”) to an action (aka “then that”). If I post a picture to Instagram, save that to a folder in my Dropbox. If I mark an item to read on Pocket, add a note to my Evernote account. If someone follows me on Twitter, add an entry to a Google Doc. The possibilities were nearly limitless even before there was a proper Android app or IOS, and now you have the functions of your phone to work with.
Channels are services like Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, as well as devices like Philips Hue, Belkin WeMo, and UP by Jawbone.
Recipes are connections between your Channels that unlock entirely new ways for your services and devices to communicate with each other. The list is endless like I said before and they are always adding new ones. Its a tool that I wish had before, but its never too late for anything.
If you’re already an IFTTT user, the Android app will first and foremost give you a quick way to set up and manage your recipes from your Android device, saving you from going out to the browser to check on things. The Android app gives you access to all of the recipes and channels you use, regardless of whether they actually incorporate with your mobile devices. Setting up new recipes is incredibly simple, going step-by-step to make sure it’s doing what you want.
