I didn't do Bloggiesta, but I kept seeing your links about IFTTT. I've always been curious so I'm checking it out! But I'm super bummed Pinterest isn't one of their channels. I'd love to make a recipe so that every 4 or 5 star review I post it automatically gets pinned to my "Books I Adore" Board!

I, too, was intimated by IFTTT at first. But once I got to playing around with it, and figured out how it works, I got comfortable with using it.

Awesome recipe!

Side note: If there are links in the tweets you are favoriting, I'd recommend using Pocket to save the links for later ;)

Awesome! Glad you are liking IFTTT.

I am equally fascinated and intimated by IFTTT.

I never seem to get to my favorited tweets in a timely fashion. My favorited list just keeps growing and growing and growing. I created a recipe to email the favorited tweet to my email account - where I can post it on my calendar for review. [and the crowd goes wild]

Thanks for hosting this mini challenge. It is going to be very helpful.

Wow, this is so cool! I created a recipe which creates a link post at facebook if I post a tweet with the hashtag "discussion". It will use the first URL in the tweet as the link and the tweet without the hashtag as the description. Thank you so much for such a helpful mini challenge!

It's a time suck when you're checking out all the recipe options, I swear! LOL

You can send Instagram pics to a FB Page. They are two separate channels: FB Profile and FB Page.

That's what intimidated me when I first learned about the site - THE CHOICES. It has so much to offer, with online activities and beyond. I just found out my 49ers are still losing thanks to IFTTT. Blessing, or curse? LOL

2013-09-22T15:00:43.229-07:00

Where has this website been all my life? At first I didn't think I would use it at all, but I've been experimenting for, like, an hour. Haha. So far I've only made two recipes. One posts my Instagram photos to Tumblr when I add #books. I want it to go to Facebook too, but I don't know that I can sent it to a page and not a profile. Oh well. My other recipe sends certain types of Wordpress posts to Tumblr as a photo post. I hope they incorporate Goodreads. That would be great. Hopefully G+ opens up their API so we don't have to jump through hoops to post there as well. Thanks for opening my eyes to this website. It's great!

2013-09-22T14:43:11.391-07:00

Thanks so much for the challenge! I'd never heard of this site before, actually, but it sounds really useful. I created a recipe that will take every link I post to Twitter and repost it as a status update on Facebook.

2013-09-22T11:59:37.922-07:00

My first recipe (after much panic because OMG, THE CHOICES) was to tweet the link to every GLA review. Kelly schedules/posts those, so I can't use the automatic tweeting option. I'll have to keep playing. I can see how these would be really helpful for my business. :)

Got distracted from this comment by creating my second recipe: getting texted whenever it snows. Niiiiice.

2013-09-22T08:38:26.064-07:00

I made a recipe so that my Instagram pics with a tag of #books goes to my FB page instead of my personal profile. That is going to be a big help. I tweeted the IFTTT twitter account to see if they have any plans to connect to Goodreads or Pinterest. Even Amazon. It would be so great to be able to use this to cross-post, and even update my kindle.amazon profile. This could be very, very big! So, now that I've spent my entire blog time playing with this feature, I really need to buckle down or I am not going to get anything accomplished this weekend! Thanks Brianna!

You could always suggest a Channel to IFTTT. I do it on Twitter ;)

2013-09-22T07:25:55.480-07:00

Did you enter the label on IFTT exactly how it appears on your blog? That's the only thing I can think of. If it's exact, I'd shoot IFTTT an email (support [at] ifttt [dot] com). I hope you get it worked out.

Great recipe!

What Channels are you using for the trigger and the action?

IFTTT is really good about responding on Twitter but it is the weekend so it might not be until tomorrow when you get a response.

You can't duplicate a recipe but you could use an already existing recipe created by another IFTTT member.

2013-09-21T16:18:54.834-07:00

I created four new recipes, Blog Post to Facebook and Twitter, New Post in Feedly category Must Read email me, and IFTTT updates to email. I'm totally addicted and wish they would add Pinterest. Can't wait to see what else I can create! Thanks for the great challenge and tutorial.

2013-09-21T13:07:32.488-07:00

I checked out IFTTT which seems super useful for my work blog. I created an account and created a recipe which was supposed to post a link to a particular FB page when a blogger post from http://nhbookcenter.blogspot.com with a specific label (ladybug picture book award) was posted. I wrote the post and published it, but 25 minutes later there isn't a post on the FB page. Any idea where might I have gone wrong?

2013-09-21T12:33:35.302-07:00

I created a recipe that every time a post with a giveaway tag on my blog posts that a tweet will go out on my Twitter. Kind of excited to see how this works when one goes live. :) I will have to create some more recipes now.

2013-09-21T12:11:33.494-07:00

Is there a way to duplicate a recipe? So, I just created a recipe for posting on facebook, and I want to do the same for twitter with the same trigger. Do I have to start from scratch or can I duplicate and edit the few details?
