IFTTT can handle anything its member service "channels" support, combining them to do something automatically for you (albeit with limitations set by the providers of the service- we're looking at you, Gmail (Opens in a new window)). If This Then That (IFTTT) has become the ultimate integration service for small tasks between internet-connected services and devices. ![]()
