IFTTT To Fediverse: Take Us To Your Leaders!

IFTTT (which stands for “If This, Then That”) is a service that allows you to connect various platforms, websites, social networks, smart devices with each other.

Awhile ago I emailed the IFTTT team to see if they can integrate Fediverse apps like Mastodon, Pixelfed, WriteFreely, Misskey, etcetera, within their service.

Here was their awesome response:

The majority of services you see on IFTTT are built and maintained by the brands themselves. More services are being added all the time but we would also encourage you to reach out to any services such as the ones you listed below that you're interested in directly and let them know they can build on the IFTTT Platform.

Any user with a Pro+ account can create their own IFTTT service, so we'd be happy to have those services on board.

I've also shared this suggestion with IFTTT's partnership team to recommend they reach out the services you listed as well!

Imagine updating your Mastodon profile picture every time you post a selfie to Pixelfed (with the hashtag selfie), or automatically sharing your WriteFreely posts to Misskey.

IFTTT can enable a greater automation between Fediverse platforms, making it easier for them to interact without requiring an in-depth understanding of the code between each platform.

I am going to reach out to these four Fediverse app creators below regarding IFTTT, plus link to their Patreon or Open Collective accounts (as we should always support the platforms we use).

I encourage anyone reading this to reach out to the creators of their favorite Fediverse apps about IFTTT integration as it would be really cool to see all of the Fediverse apps on IFTTT.
