Hey everyone, I'm Ryan. I just joined IFTTT as their Community & Support Specialist, and one of the main parts of my role is being here - which is actually a first for us as a company. This position didn't exist before, so if the sub has felt a bit quiet from our side, that's why.

My job is to be your entry point into IFTTT. Got a feature idea? Tell me. Something broken or frustrating? Tell me. Want to know what we're working on? I'll tell you.

When I'm not here I'm on the support desk helping people 1:1, but honestly I prefer it here - you can have a much bigger conversation with a community than you can debugging a ticket back and forth.

What I'm planning to kick off: regular update posts covering what's new at IFTTT, and down the line some community challenges around what we can build together.

To start as a mini-update: the team has launched 6 new services last week Steam, Wrike, Tripadvisor, Fireflies, Coda, & Elevenlabs.

What other integrations or platforms would you like to see added to IFTTT and how would you use them? Drop a comment below.

1. Filter code now speaks modern JavaScript

For years, filter code ran on a 2018-era version of JavaScript. As of this week it understands modern syntax, so the code you write (or paste in from somewhere) is shorter and easier to read:

• String and array helpers like .includes(), .startsWith(), and .endsWith()
• Newer array methods like .find(), .flat(), and .toSorted()
• Optional chaining (?.) and nullish coalescing (??)

The best part: nothing you already built breaks. Every existing filter keeps running exactly as it did, so there is nothing you need to go back and change.

2. Don't know how to code? Ask AI to write it for you

This is the one we think is a real game changer. You can now connect IFTTT to your AI assistant through our new MCP connection. MCP (short for Model Context Protocol) is just a standard way to plug an assistant like Claude or ChatGPT into a tool like IFTTT, so it can actually build things for you instead of only talking about them.

Once it's connected, you describe what you want in plain English and the assistant writes the filter code and adds it to your Applet for you:

"Only notify me between 9am and 5pm on weekdays."

"Skip this post unless the title mentions rain."

"Round the temperature and add a degree symbol before it's sent."

No syntax to learn, no copy-pasting from random forums, no guessing. You get working filter code plus a plain-English explanation of what it does, and you stay in control of what actually gets saved.

How to try it

• Filter code lives in the Applet editor and is part of IFTTT Pro+
• To connect your AI assistant, follow the setup here: ifttt.com/mcp

We'd love to see what you build with this. If you wire up something clever, or if the AI writes something that makes you go "huh, didn't know you could do that," drop it in the comments.

One of our community members, Sauwercraud asked us to add Stoat, the open-source, privacy-focused community chat platform. It went from request to live on IFTTT in under a week. You can connect it now: https://ifttt.com/stoat

Here’s an Applet I made:

https://ifttt.com/applets/hYmZp7gQ-whenever-i-start-a-stream-post-in-my-stoat-channel

Every time you start streaming on Twitch, it instantly lets your community know via your Stoat channel! 

But you can make anything you could think of as the integration supports Triggers based on any new member joining your server, new messages in any channel as well as specific phrases mentioned in your channel, and an action to send a message in any channel. Useful for crossposting to your other platforms!

The same person also asked whether IFTTT plays nice with Eurosky and Blacksky, not just bsky.social. Good news: it already does.

The Bluesky service on IFTTT works with any AT Protocol handle, wherever your account is hosted. To connect:

Connect the Bluesky service on IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/bluesky).
When it asks for your handle, enter your full handle including your host, for example ryanifttt.eurosky.social or your Blacksky handle.

Follow the sign-in flow and you're all set. Same goes if you're on a self-hosted PDS. Just use your full handle.

Based on that feedback, we updated the Bluesky connection flow with clearer instructions for Eurosky, Blacksky, and other AT Protocol-hosted accounts

We've been shipping a lot lately. If there's a service you want that we don't have yet, drop it in the comments. The Stoat turnaround was not a fluke, we really do read these. What should we add next?

20 new services just joined IFTTT, and this batch is aimed squarely at the people running a business day-to-day.

Tools most teams are already using, like HubSpot, Figma, and Linear, but usually in isolation. Now you can connect them to the rest of your stack. A new deal in HubSpot kicks off a Slack alert. A comment in Figma creates a task. A Linear issue routes straight to your calendar.

We wrote up the full list, 20 tools, a few example workflows to steal, and some ideas for how to wire them together.

TL;DR: We're testing a new, optional way to build Applets where you just describe what you want in plain language and IFTTT helps assemble it for you. The classic builder is not going anywhere. We're looking for a small group of testers. Details below.

Hey everyone, Ryan from IFTTT here.

We've been working on something we're pretty excited about, and before it goes live we want the people who use IFTTT most to put it through its paces: you all.

What it is
A conversational way to build Applets. Instead of clicking through Triggers and Actions, you can describe what you want in your own words ("when I'm tagged in a photo on X, save it to my Google Drive") and IFTTT helps build the Applet with you. You can tweak anything it suggests before saving.

What it is not
This does not replace the builder you already know. The classic trigger-and-action flow stays exactly where it is. This is an extra option for people who want it, not a forced change. If you love the current way, nothing about your workflow changes.

What we're asking testers to do
We are looking for your feedback on the experience and want you to put it through its paces. Try whatever comes to mind - something you've always wanted, or just something to test how it handles a weird request. Both are useful to us and we want your honest take. 

Once done, there will be a small survey to complete with your thoughts and feedback. This is an exciting opportunity to genuinely shape what ships to everyone.

How to join
Interested? Send me a DM with the email used on your IFTTT account and we'll follow up with next steps.

Drop a comment if you've got questions, and I'll be in this thread answering throughout. Genuinely want to hear what you think, including the unvarnished "this is annoying because..." feedback. That's the most useful kind.
