Guide to gaming automations

Gaming and streaming works better with IFTTT. Using automation and integration tools, you can streamline the processes that make your gaming experience even better and bring it IRL.

With so many of the leading gaming services and platforms available on IFTTT, it is easier than ever to automate your streaming and related tasks. You can also receive custom reminders and notifications to keep you up to date with the conversations that matter most to you, even when you are offline.

Rust was the first team to create an IFTTT integration that allows players to transform the way they experience the game. Get notifications anytime, take note of the players who are responsible for killing your team members, and get a message when your team is online. Rust has led the way for other games to consider the way that gaming can be fully integrated across platforms, devices, and services.

In addition to in-game integrations, services like Discord, Twitch, YouTube, and Reddit remain some of the most popular ways to automate for IFTTT gamers.

Discord

Although Discord has so many uses reaching beyond being a gaming communication platform, it remains one of the leading ways to have conversations with your friends, followers, and other players. You can forward messages to your Discord channel, let your channel know when you start a stream, or share your latest YouTube video – all without lifting a finger.

Discord can make it happen with the IFTTT bot.
Twitch

The IFTTT-Twitch integration was built for fans and streamers alike. Use the triggers to let your followers know when you are going live or get a notification to let you know your favorite streamer is playing. How you integrate is completely up to you.

Find new games

Reddit, Twitter, and Itch.io are all great ways to stay up to date with new games. Set up Applets that let you know when releases are announced and be the first to jump online and experience a new world.
Create the ultimate gaming experience

Of course, digital experiences and custom virtual integrations are only some of the elements of IFTTT. Bring your gaming experience into the physical world using smart lights, plugs, and other connected devices.

Create the vibe that works for you, gives you the most ideal lighting for streaming, and reduce distraction or noise in the background while you’re live.
