Do you find yourself manually doing the same digital tasks over and over? Automation can do that for you. Services like IFTTT (If This Then That) and Zapier act as digital bridges between your apps. You create a “recipe” or “Zap” with a trigger and an action.
For example:
- IF I save an email attachment in Gmail, THEN automatically save it to my Dropbox.
- IF I post a photo on Instagram, THEN automatically save a copy to my Google Photos album.
- IF the weather forecast says rain, THEN send a notification to my phone at 7 AM.
These are simple “set-it-and-forget-it” rules that eliminate mundane tasks, reduce human error, and seamlessly connect your digital life.
