How this automation works

Automatically share content from your inbox to your Tumblr blog. This Applet runs whenever you send an email to your IFTTT email address and creates a new Tumblr text post using the email’s subject and body. Perfect for quickly publishing ideas, notes, or media without opening Tumblr. Customize the message to fit your tone.
