It\u2019s completely free and it works with all sorts of different programs. There are IFTTTs that work with Gmail, Google Drive, Dropbox, Facebook, Twitter, Android, iOS: in short, pretty much every software or online service you use in your <strong>daily routine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of an <strong>IFTT recipe<\/strong> so you can wrap your head around it: \u201cIf X person posts to Facebook, write me an email.\u201d The \u201cif\u201d part is the trigger \u2013 whenever it occurs, the action (receiving an email) happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b1c3b7;font-size:18px\">Join our freelancer community today! <br>Create your profile in just 2 minutes and start attracting new clients.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelancermap.com\/registration?ref=blog-com-ifttt\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-default\" style=\"color:#222222;background-color:#FCF2DB;border-color:#cac2b0;border-radius:20px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#222222;padding:0px 20px;font-size:16px;line-height:32px;border-color:#fdf6e6;border-radius:20px;text-shadow:none\"> <strong>Sign up for free<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Examples of IFTT recipes for freelancers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Save your mail attachments to Drive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Email attachments are often big, clunky and difficult to find in your inbox. Getting rid by them one by one or downloading them into a certain folder takes up more time than we realize. <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/rPjyfZwX-email-attachment-to-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This recipe will automatically save them to Google Drive<\/a>. Saves you both time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Track your hours with Google Calendar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Freelancers often have to track their work hours. And while this might seem like a small, easily done task, automating can make it even better. With <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/sFk2WC4r-track-your-work-hours-in-google-calendar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this recipe<\/a> you can set up a location for your office and your phone will start tracking work hours whenever you enter. You will never have to remember to write down the time you start working ever again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Sync your clouds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have multiple cloud storage services? Whether you use one for backup or are just in the middle of switching, synchronizing your files between Dropbox, Google Drive and Amazon Cloud can be a pain. Unless you have these recipes: <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/AVrS7fD9-sync-files-from-a-dropbox-folder-to-amazon-cloud-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dropbox to Amazon<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/b5zt9dWA-automatically-sync-new-files-added-to-dropbox-to-your-google-drive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dropbox to Drive<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Have your phone muted during meetings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever been in an important meeting and forgot to mute your phone? That\u2019s another little thing you can do manually, but again, why not let IFTTT do it for you? Here\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/DDKEwrmX-mute-phone-when-calendar-event-starts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the recipe<\/a>, you just need Google Calendar. Bonus tip \u2013 you can also add things like movie nights to your calendar and make sure they\u2019re not disturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Connecting Facebook, Twitter, Instagram<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you one of those people who have multiple social media channels? If so, then you know the feeling of having to post the same photo to multiple ones. Here\u2019s how to <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/aVxGRrtD-tweet-your-instagrams-as-native-photos-on-twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweet your Instagram photos as native ones<\/a>. And if you want to get really sophisticated, here\u2019s one that <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/BJdgaN9m-selectively-post-your-instagrams-to-a-facebook-page-when-you-include-a-specific-hashtag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">posts tweets to Facebook \u2013 but only if they have a certain user-defined hashtag.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. And linking WordPress to all of that<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of freelancers have blogs. And here we have the problem we just mentioned \u2013 cross-posting can take so much precious time. Not with the right IFTT recipes though. Whether you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/Y2TJcGLZ-wordpress-to-twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">automatically tweet out your newest WordPress post<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/C3fwHeP7-wordpress-to-fbpage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">share it on your Facebook page<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/S982HRFW-wordpress-to-tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tumblr<\/a>, you can do it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Get an email when you\u2019re mentioned on Reddit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/applets\/qsGcQbaN-get-an-email-when-your-company-is-mentioned-on-reddit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This recipe<\/a> is just an example of how you can take marketing to the next level with IFTTT. Imagine always being informed when your brand or company is discussed somewhere on the internet. If it\u2019s a complaint you\u2019re always there to settle it. And if it\u2019s a compliment, you\u2019re there to say thanks and show your loyal customers that you care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many IFTTT recipes, the possibilities are countless. If automating little, mundane tasks that just seem like a waste of time, head over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ifttt.com\/\">If This Than That website<\/a>, and just use their discovery tool. It\u2019s as easy as typing up a service you\u2019re interested in and getting a list of popular recipes. You can even see how many people use them \u2013 that can help you gauge how useful they are. And if you\u2019re really feeling crazy \u2013 consider joining the IFTT community and mixing up some recipes yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Have comments or questions for us?
