platform to promote your business. But they require
dedicated management. As per a report, 81% of US
population is using at least one of the social media profiles.
Therefore, it proves to be an excellent tool for marketing and
driving traffic to your business website.
IFTTT for WordPress
For using IFTTT, you must have a WordPress website. You can
opt for WordPress website development services to have that
WordPress site in first place. IFTTT for WordPress is a simple
and efficient platform which helps you to automatically
program tasks which need to be performed on daily basis. It
offers to create individual apps or Applets which can
integrate two services, platforms or tools and automatically
performs a fixed task.
IFTTT can work with multiple platforms and comprises of a
large library of Applets that integrates with WordPress. To
illustrate, you can create an Applet that connects your
WordPress website to Twitter. If the app is running, all
tweets which you add to Twitter will also be uploaded to
your website.
Key features of IFTTT
• It connects WordPress to many social media platforms
and other tools online.
• It can build apps which performs a fixed task
automatically.
• It can customize apps settings.
• Tailormade apps can be created and are allowed to
share with the IFTTT community.
Setting up IFTTT
The process to use IFTTT for WordPress is very simple. It is
mandatory to sign up for the account on IFTTT website –
either with an email and password or through Google or
Facebook. Once finished, you will see that IFTTT has
automatically generated a recipe for you. Then find an
Applet you like, select it and choose the “Turn on” option.
Thereafter, you need to make certain settings and provide
your account details for each platform that your Applet needs
to connect with. Finally, you will be able to publish the
Applet. Then, it should run automatically. Applets can be
viewed under My Applets screen.
There are numerous WordPress related scenarios which you
can accomplish with IFTTT.
Now, we will discuss some integrations which you may find
useful. All of these were created by WordPress developers.
They will help you in fixed social media tasks.
1. Share new posts to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
This is one of the most useful Applets IFTTT offers. It
integrates your customized WordPress development site with
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn altogether. As these are three
of the most popular social media networks, you must be using
one or more of them. When Applet with above mentioned
condition is created, it shares your new posts as a link to all
three platforms.
2. Share posts to your LinkedIn with specific Tag
This Applet targets only a single social media platform i.e.
LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a great platform to network with other
professionals and attract readers. Moreover, sharing new
business content on it can definitely improve a your
company reputation and credibility. Using this Applet, you
can define specific tag or category. Further all posts from
your website which meets the tag will be shared on your
LinkedIn account. Surely it depicts great way to share your
business knowledge with colleagues and friends.
3. Tweet your new blog posts quickly
Twitter is one of the eminent social media platforms that is
looked for news throughout the world. Which makes it the
best platform for promoting a blog or website. You can use
the WordPress Applet for Twitter to automate notification
process. Enable your audience to get quick and timely
updates without having to compose manual posts. After you
set up the app, it will send a link for each new post to your
Twitter followers including the title of the post.
4. Share your new posts to Facebook page
Facebook remains the number one social media platform and
so it is necessary to use the Applets that integrate it with
WordPress. Whether you use Facebook to keep a community
around your website, for marketing purposes or to make
connections, it is essential to keep your friends and followers
uptodate. The Facebook Page Applet can share links from
your new WordPress posts to Facebook page that you are
own.
5. Create custom Applets
IFTTT allows to generate highlevel functions which
sometimes are not supported by social media applications.
For example: Instagram has a default feature that allows you
to post Instagram photos on Twitter. That functionality
includes your photo caption and friend tags. It won’t permit
you to customize details before it publishes your Instagram
photo on Twitter. That’s where IFTTT can help.
Conclusion
To summarize, having a social media presence is must to have
more audience and followers that can help you grow business
through an online website or a successful WordPress blog.
Applying automation through tools like IFTTT plays a key role
in eliminating repetitive and tedious tasks when it comes to
maintaining social media accounts. This can help to focus
