[IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/raindrop) (If This Then That) is a central hub where you wire different apps and services together. You connect your accounts once, pick what should trigger what — and it runs in the background, 24/7, without you lifting a finger.

Many integrations on this site — YouTube, Reddit, Telegram, Notion and others — work through IFTTT. Each one is a ready-made **applet**: a small recipe that says "when X happens in service A, do Y in service B". You just enable it and it works.

## Getting started

<Steps>
  <Step>
    [Create a free IFTTT account](https://ifttt.com/join) if you don't have one yet
  </Step>

  <Step>
    [Connect your account](https://ifttt.com/raindrop) — IFTTT will ask for permission to read and write your bookmarks
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Browse [ready-made applets](https://ifttt.com/raindrop) and enable the ones you need — that's it, they start working immediately
  </Step>
</Steps>

The hardest part is the initial setup. Once your accounts are connected, enabling a new applet takes a single click.

## Building your own workflow

Can't find a ready-made applet that does exactly what you need? You can [create your own](https://ifttt.com/create) — no code required.

IFTTT has a visual editor where you pick a trigger ("when this happens"), an action ("do that"), and map which fields go where. You can also build **multi-step** workflows that chain several actions together.

Available triggers and actions:

| Triggers (when…)         |                                                |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| New item                 | Any new bookmark is added                      |
| New highlight            | Any new highlight is created                   |
| Item moved to collection | You move an item to a specific collection      |
| New item tagged          | You tag an item with a specific tag            |
| New favorite item        | You favorite an item                           |
| New item by type         | An article, image, video, or document is added |
| New broken link          | A link becomes broken                          |
| New permanent copy       | A web archive is created for an item           |
| New file                 | You upload a file                              |

| Actions (then…)       |                                             |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| Create a new bookmark | Save a URL with title, tags, and collection |

Set it up once — it runs forever.
