STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION
1. From the dashboard, select the "Create a new recipe" link. You will then need to click the "this"
word on the following page to select your first channel (also called trigger channel).
You can scroll down the page to find and then activate Instagram, or you can enter "Instagram" into the search bar.
2. Once you've selected Instagram, you will need to choose one of a few
pre-programmed triggers. For the purposes of this example, select "Any new photo by you".
Keep in mind you will need to connect your Instagram account to your
IFTTT account. Don't worry, everything is supposed to be safe and secure.
3. Now you need to choose your second channel (also called action channel).
Start by clicking the "that" word on the page that pops up next. From there,
scroll down to find and then activate Twitter, or
you can enter "Twitter" into the search bar.
4. Upon selecting Twitter, you will need to choose one of a few pre-programmedactions.
For the purposes of this example, select "Post a tweet"
Again, you will need to connect your Twitter account to your IFTTT account.
5. And finally, complete your action fields by inserting ingredients.
You can click the "+" symbol to insert any of the pre-programmed ingredients such as
the caption, URL, timestamp, or even embed code. All of these recipe ingredients
pertain to your Instagram photo, and they will automatically
publish to Twitter in a tweet alongside your photo.
6. Make sure you hit the "Create recipe" link at the bottom of the ingredients page
when you're finished customising your recipe. At that point, IFTTT will bring you
back to your dashboard. You should see your new recipe, with options for editing it.
What about IFTTT's new Do apps?
IFTTT has launched Do. It’s a suite of new Android and iOS apps that should make
recipe setups for web tools as simple as a touch of a button. The new apps are Do
Button, Do Camera, and Do Note, and they’re as basic as you can get.
The idea is that you can use the new Do apps to shorten daily app uses into just a tap of a button,
letting you control your web tools in a fast and simple way.
Currently, you can only program up to three recipes in the Do apps, though you
can use a voice command to trigger a recipe in Do Note. Awesome, right?
*Wait !!!let’s press search button it has many things
to offer,
*Searchrecommend FOR YOU THE FOLLOWING APPS BELOW
"If This, Then That" stands for a trigger, while the "That" stands for an action.
These two linked events create an IFTTT recipe.
Thus, referencing the Philips Hue example we mentioned earlier,
the trigger could be a Facebook photo tag and the action would be the Philips Hue light turning on
