Be more productive, save time, integrate work tools, and automate repetitive tasks - yes, you can really do it all with IFTTT.

Our easy to use tool and wide variety of available productivity services means you can get more done, spend less time doing the same daily tasks, and streamline your processes. Some of the most popular Applets include using our button and note widgets to send messages, syncing calendars, or keeping your to-do lists organized.

Important notifications

Your devices are constantly beeping and buzzing to tell you about messages and meetings. You can increase your productivity by narrowing down your notifications to get the most important information and reminders. Get notifications for the meetings and events that actually matter to you, and let yourself focus over the course of your day.

You can also automate messages that you regularly send to your team. Create daily stand ups in Slack with a message at the same time on weekday mornings, or send a note to your assistant to make sure your office is ready fifteen minutes before an interview.

Sync your to-do lists and calendars

Different teams and different members of the same household choose various calendar and task tracking services to organize their days. Automatically sync your services instead of manually re-entering every upcoming event and project. These Applets make it easy to put items together, from adding all new Google Calendar events to your iOS Calendar to merging to-do lists across platforms.

Media tracking and brand mentions

Media tracking and sifting through different alerts is a task of the past with IFTTT. Send your alerts to your email or to your team’s messaging system of choice. Create a Slack channel for your marketing team so you can respond quickly and always know what other people are saying about your brand online.

Keep inspiration in one place

The images and stories that inspire you can be hard to plan out ahead of time, so when you see ideas online you should make sure to save them for later. Saved YouTube videos and Tweets can be aggregated in one place that you can turn to if you are looking for ideas or need inspiration for an upcoming project.

Receipts and time tracking

Manually tracking your time in spreadsheets or trying to keep your paper receipts together can be a full time job. Snap a quick picture of a business-related receipt or press a single button to log what time you finished working for the day. Keep yourself organized while creating easy processes that are sustainable and will increase your productivity. Your coworkers will be begging to know how you are getting everything done so quickly and so well.

Remember your best ideas

Ideas come to you at the worst possible times, so make sure you are prepared. Writing your most clever thoughts down on your hand or on a napkin means that you are much more likely to lose them. Use any of our widgets or voice assistant services so you can make notes on the go. If your hands are full, just dictate the words you want to write down and send them to yourself for a better time.
