Overall Satisfaction with IFTTT

We use IFTTT to help us to monitor changes to websites. This enables us to notify clients and react when appropriate to these changes.
It works best with RSS feeds as it can detect when a change occurs, often within minutes.
  • Step-by-step setup
  • Email alerts that do not require any further installations
  • Tons of options to choose from
  • There is a final step when creating a recipe that seems superfluous. There have been occasions in the past when I thought I was finished and closed the page only to realize that I hadn't completed the process.
  • The email alerts are great but become generic if you don't edit each one
  • It is very hard to search your recipes, making it difficult to isolate ones you can delete.
  • It enables us to alert clients when changes occur on websites that they do not control, that impact them. This is a real value-add for clients
  • It enables us to react to these changes when appropriate. Without knowing that something has changed, we cannot react
On inspection, it did not seem as simple to use. In fairness I was very happy with IFTTT and did not spend much time looking into Zapier
When you need to be alerted when something changes.
When you want something else (an app or process) to react to something else changing.
