Overall Satisfaction with IFTTT
Since I am a social media strategist, the main use I give to IFTTT is for the management of social media automation to achieve that if a publication is made in X platform, it is also done in another. An example of this is the posting of Instagram posts to Pinterest, deciding the board through the use of hashtags. This I also do to send posts from Instagram to Tumblr. Although Instagram has this functionality, it is much easier to do it with IFTTT.
As I'm also a digital marketer, I would love to be able to use this tool to add levels of difficulty in my automation, but in that part, they have fallen behind a bit. It is an excellent tool. However, its developers need to add levels to workflows, since they are very simple. Besides, it still does not work with other tools that I use, which prevents me from making the most of it.
- Send automated publications from my web blog to the different social platforms. It does it fast and without complications.
- It is a super easy tool to configure, without needing to be a very expert person. The configuration flow is intuitive and friendly. I think even a child could do it.
- Although it still lacks tools that I use, the list of tools it supports is impressively large.
- Send posts from Instagram to Pinterest, saying the board through the use of hashtags.
- Send posts from Instagram to Tumblr, saying using the same hashtags as tags.
- My main complaint is that they still need to add a series of tools like HubSpot, Sumome, and others.
- It lacks levels of work in the automations, since it is limited to one action per applet.
- Living in the age of automation, I understand that the developers have been stuck.
- Time saving
- Saving money in the use of expensive tools
