Overall Satisfaction with IFTTT

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used IFTTT to set up complicated steps that needed notifications to input data into other systems. At the time, API integrations were few an far between so it was difficult to get what I needed without a million tabs open to cross reference things. With IFTTT, I was able to automate checking with an extremely limited budget.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Alerting to new information
Making different programs create work flows

Cons

It can get complicated with a number of different steps
Daunting for a first time user

Return on Investment

Saves time
Impressive at what it can do

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are running with a limited budget and a bunch of free tools, it's perfect for automating things that wouldn't naturally do so. There is also a case to be made for the way it can connect systems. Without a tool like IFTTT, getting systems to communicate or corroborate information is manually taxing.
