Create your own Gmail and Slashdot workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
4 triggers, queries, and actions
        
          
            
            Polling trigger
          
          
    Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
        
        This trigger fires each time there is a new article on Slashdot.
      
        
          
            
            Query
          
          
    A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
        
        This query returns a list of new articles on Slashdot.
      
        
          
            
            Action
          
          
    An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
        
        This Action will send an email to up to twenty recipients from your Gmail account.
