How this automation works

Publish emails with a specific hashtag as posts in your Circle community. This Applet runs when you send an email to trigger@applet.ifttt.com with the configured tag in the subject and creates a new post in the selected Circle space, using the email subject as the title and the email body as the post content. It's useful for community managers who want to post welcome notes, event updates, or quick announcements to Circle directly from email.

Send IFTTT an email at trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.
