The platform is opening its virtual doors to individual developers to build and publish applets for anyone
For those uninitiated, IFTTT (If This Then That) allows people to create ‘recipes’ which help to maximise the potential of products and services. For example, a high carbon dioxide level detected by a Netatmo Weather Station at home could result in your Phillips Hue lights blinking a few times or altering colour to remind you to open a window.
Last August, IFTTT announced it would allow third-party companies to build their own apps and services using the IFTTT partner platform.
A few months after, this initiative was expanded to any company. Furthermore, while previous “recipes” were limited to one trigger and one action, IFTTT expanded the capabilities to become ‘applets’ which can include multiple actions in a single trigger.
