Automations for students 2025

Students, you are juggling your studies, extra curricular clubs, sports, fitness, and working. You could probably use an extra few hours in the day and a virtual assistant. Well, luckily you have IFTTT.

Teachers and education professionals, check out this collection for you!

Save yourself time that is often spent getting organized and managing your schedule by automating elements of the manual tasks you need to do. Out of the hundreds of services available on IFTTT, we integrate with many of the popular platforms used in your student life, including Google Drive, DropBox, Google Calendar, iOS Calendar, and more.

Smooth scheduling

It can be a challenge to coordinate your class and work schedules while also managing upcoming deadlines. Use keyword-based triggers in Google Calendar to get updates on the upcoming events that are most important to you. Additionally, using the Note widget is an easy way to create events in your calendar while you are on the go or write down a reminder for something you need to share with a teammate for an upcoming project.

Get notifications for specific events on your calendar using the "Event from search starts" trigger in Google Calendar for events when an assignment is due.

Study buddy

Figure out how much time you are dedicating to studying each week with this Google Sheets tracker or use a weekly digest as a reminder to help you stay on top for your next test. If you have smart lights in your dorm or house, you could set a scene and start a study playlist with the press of a button.

If you have a group chat with your team or friends from a specific class, automate reminders to keep everyone ready for the next quiz.

Easy reminders Widgets are a great way to create quick reminders or save notes from a study sesh. Use the camera widget to take a photo of what your professor drew on the whiteboard during a lecture, then have it saved directly to a Google Drive folder for that class. This will help you limit your screenshots and keep your files organized.

Student life

If you are managing a campus club or intramural team, keep your social media platforms in sync with our useful Instagram to Twitter integration. Or, remember where you last parked by enabling the location saver Applet.
