IFTTT is a service that connects different online accounts and services through "recipes" to automate tasks. Recipes are combinations of a trigger from one service that performs an action in another service. This allows users to simplify their lives by setting up automated workflows between services like having new Instagram photos automatically saved to Dropbox. The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating recipes in IFTTT by selecting triggers and actions from over 70 connected services.
