- How familiar are you with @IFTTT?
Based on our responses in our #SocialCafe chat, it appears that many of us are familiar with IFTTT. But, it also appears that we are hungry for more IFTTT recipes, too :)
RT @socialwebcafe For example, here is a recipe that will post your instagram to Twitter twit pic http://t.co/il9EzrYKVJ #SocialCafe #TBW— Stacie Walker (@staciewalker) April 16, 2014 | Example. Really swamped with work.. see something.. pin it.. @IFTTT sends me email.after work I share to FB, Twitter, G+.. #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) April 16, 2014 |
- How do you use @IFTTT? If you don’t use it, what would you like to know about it?
I love how Stacie put it. I mean, isn’t that the name of the game? A mission of figuring out the “best way ... to get the most out of [IFTTT]?” Yes!
RT @ShavonnBrown A2. I guess my first mission will be to figure out the best way for me to get the most out of it. #SocialCafe #TBW— Stacie Walker (@staciewalker) April 16, 2014 | @socialwebcafe A2: what are the top 3 ways @IFTTT can improve productivity? #SocialCafe #TBW— Creative Teamwork (@CTWmarketing) April 16, 2014 |
- What are some ideas for recipes that you would like to see @IFTTT?
There are so many terrific recipes already on IFTTT. Sometimes it is tricky to find them, but then often we hear about them through word-of-mouth. Some of us geeks go out and create them, too. Fortunately, IFTTT does provide a nice interface that walks you through the process of creating your own recipe(s), for those daring enough to try it. :)
A3 I wish they could bring back the awesome Twitter recipes they used to have #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) April 16, 2014 | A3 I haven't seen enough Twitter->Wordpress recipes on @IFTTT. #SocialCafe #TBW— Stephanie Pagano (@StephaniePags) April 16, 2014 |
- If you decide to use @IFTTT, how do you think you will use the tool?
For those of us who use IFTTT, we will likely dig deeper to find even more recipes. For those of us new to IFTTT? Hey, jump on in and get your feet wet!
A4 I’m very satisfied, but I’m going to peek to see if there are some I haven’t thought of yet #SocialCafe #TBW— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) April 16, 2014 | A4: For like everything, the less work needed (after creating a recipe, of course) the better! :D #SocialCafe— Marisa (@MoppetMissy) April 16, 2014 |

#SocialCafe Twitter Chat Announcement
This SocialWebCafe Twitter Event is about Tools 5 * IFTTT.
About this Topic/Event
IFTTT is a great way to add automation to your content marketing strategy. The IFTTT team has figured out a way to take a programming concept (If This, Then That) and turn it into an easy-to-use interface.
Another advantage of IFTTT is that there are oodles of recipes, created by other users. You can even create your own recipe and share it. A recipe is a IFTTT that is already laid out for you so all you need to do is choose it and then connect the social (etc.) site that is contained in the recipe (i.e. Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, etc.). Take a look for yourself and see how many services you can choose from that connect to IFTTT.
