IFTTT
IFTT recently arrived on Android. IFTTT or
"if this, then that" is an app that brings together a plethora on
online services. Using the app you can create all sorts of useful automatic
actions like e-mail yourself a copy of every text message, flip Hue or WeMo
lights with your phone and much more. Having been around the iOS block for
quite some time, If This Then That (IFTTT), a powerful automation service,
finally made its way to Android. Each available channel within IFTTT contains
“recipes.” These recipes act at a set of triggers (the “if this” part) and
actions (the “then that” part). For example, if you update your status on
Facebook (if this), a status update also gets posted on Twitter (then that).
