Does anyone have experience using IFTTT?
So did anyone use IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/) yet? Is it actually convenient if used correctly?
What have you specifically done with it?
Comments
I played around with IFFFT for a bit to send notifications from my home automation software (Domoticz) to my phone. I remember feeling like there were not many integrations that were useful to me. Then the Domoticz android app got notifications via GCM and I didn't need IFFFT any more.
This was a few years ago, maybe they've gotten better since then.
Yeh, IFTTT is pretty much an awk pipe between processes that aren't guaranteed to be very usable, or reliable.
Ifttt is okay, does what it says on the tin but a bit slow. I much prefer home-assistant for home assistant based things.
I mainly using IFFFT notification webhook.
It's good, I used to play around things with it like slack, emails, alexa etc.
IIRC it also provides webhook which can be very useful. Although, for serious purposes, zapier is much better.
I use it to track things like when I get to/leave the office.
Notifications on weather reports, not very accurate though.
Stuff like that
Interesting to hear about all this Keep them coming^^

1 and 3 how are you doing that ?
API?
email notification
I realize your question is about IFTTT, but it's easy to set this up on your own without IFTTT if you want. Here is an example for Linux:

You can get it working with little modification:

For cron as well, you can create a script to simply ping or send output to webhook
May I ask why do you have that signature says FYM in Chinese?
Class.
I guess others already answered that for me.
The notification part is even easier:
