The only thing hotter than July? Your automation stack right now. Eight new services just landed on IFTTT this month: photos, AI, real estate, email, developer tooling, and digital commerce. We also expanded what's possible inside six services you already use, upgraded filter code to modern TypeScript, and rewrote a core piece of the platform. Here's everything that's new
A big update to filter code
This one's for the power users.
Filter code is the feature that lets you write custom logic directly into your Applets: conditional checks, string manipulation, anything nuanced enough to need actual code. Since we launched it in 2018, it's been running on an older version of JavaScript. It got the job done, but the language has come a long way since then.
That changes today. Filter code now runs on modern TypeScript.
What that means in practice: cleaner syntax and a writing experience that matches how developers work today. If you've had filter code on your list but haven't gotten around to it, now's a great time to dig in.
New services
Your photo library, now in your automations: Google Photos
Google Photos is where most people store every photo they've ever taken, across every device they've ever owned. It organizes your collection by people, places, and things, handles editing, and keeps everything available and searchable. It's also where years of memories live. And now it's on IFTTT.
With the new integration, you can add photos to albums, create albums on the fly, and build workflows that react to anything happening elsewhere in your stack. A trip ends and a new album gets created automatically. A morning routine kicks off and a dated collection gets started. A photo drops in and a notification fires. Your photo library has always been a record of your life, and now it can actually participate in the automations that run it.
Google Photos is seeing more new connections than anything else we shipped this month. That tracks. A lot of people have been waiting for this one.
An AI that knows what happened five minutes ago: Grok
Most AI models have a knowledge cutoff. Grok, built by xAI, treats that as a solved problem. It coimbines strong reasoning with real-time information, so when you send it a query, the answer reflects the world as it actually is right now, not six months ago.
Connect Grok to IFTTT and start routing its outputs where they're actually useful. Trigger a Grok query from a webhook and send the response to Notion. Summarize a breaking story into a Slack message. Pull a live analysis on a schedule and log it to a spreadsheet. The real-time access is what sets Grok apart from other AI integrations on the platform. It's not just a language model. It's a language model that can tell you what's happening.
For the builders and developers
GoDaddy is where a lot of the internet starts: domains, hosting, the first step in spinning something up. It's on IFTTT now, which means you can build automations around your domain portfolio and web presence the same way you automate everything else.
Linear is the project management tool that software teams actually use because it's fast, opinionated, and doesn't bury you in features you didn't ask for. Connect it and let your issues, cycles, and project updates trigger workflows across the rest of your stack. New issue opens? Notify the channel. Status changes? Kick off whatever comes next.
For the businesses running the whole pipeline
Follow Up Boss is the CRM that real estate teams trust to manage leads from first inquiry to closed deal. Every new lead deserves a fast follow-up, and now you can make sure it happens by routing contacts, triggering notifications, and connecting Follow Up Boss to the rest of your team's tools.
Customer.io is behavioral messaging taken seriously. It's where growth and lifecycle teams build the automated messages that move people through a funnel: onboarding sequences, re-engagement campaigns, event-triggered emails and SMS. Connect it and let signals from anywhere in your stack trigger Customer.io actions. Your messaging pipeline just got a much longer reach.
SendGrid powers transactional email for a significant chunk of the internet. Receipts, confirmations, notifications: if it's going out at scale, it's probably going through SendGrid. Now it's wired into IFTTT, so you can trigger outbound emails from anything that can fire an Applet.
SendOwl is how digital product creators deliver their work: ebooks, courses, software licenses, downloads of all kinds. Connect it and automate around your sales. A new purchase fires a Slack notification. A delivery completes and a follow-up sequence begins. Your sales process doesn't have to end at the download link.

New triggers, queries, and actions
Beyond new services, we've also been expanding what's possible inside the ones you already use. This month we shipped new triggers, queries, and actions across Splitwise, Coinbase, Shortcut, Steam, Clockify, and Kit, giving you more entry points, more data to work with, and more things you can make happen automatically.
If you want the full breakdown of what's new and what you can build with it, we've got a dedicated blog walking through all of it.

Everything above is live right now. Whether you're automating a decade of Google Photos, querying Grok for what's happening in the world, or finally rewriting that old filter code block in proper TypeScript, there's a new connection waiting for you.
