If someone else previously created an applet that performs the action you want, you can use that applet instead of making a new one. The phrase “IFTTT applet” is sometimes used interchangeably with “IFTTT recipe.”
Turn off smart sprinklers if your weather app says it’s raining Unlock the door, turn on the lights, and crank up the smart thermostat when you arrive home Play the Spider-Man theme song through your Sonos speaker whenever Tom Holland tweets something new
Almost anything works as the trigger for the IF part of the IFTTT applet. For example, the chain can be set off by any of the following:
A specific time of day A specific time of weather An event on a social media platform Use of a smart product Geofencing when you go to a certain place
When you make a custom applet, it can use one simple conditional statement, or it can be more complicated with multiple actions. It’s all up to you.
