What is IFTTT?

IFTTT is a free web-based service that allows

users…

…to create chains of simple conditional statements, called

"recipes“,

which are triggered based on changes to

other web services…

…such as Gmail,

Facebook, Instagram, and

Pinterest.

IFTTT is an abbreviation

of "If This Then That".
