Welcome to collective.ifttt!

collective.ifttt is a Plone addon which enables any Plone site to play in the IFTTT (pronounced /ɪft/) ecosystem by allowing you to create IFTTT applets at ifttt.com.

Below are a few examples of using IFTTT with Plone sites.

• If a news item is published, then tweet about it or post it on Facebook.
• If an event is published, then add it to my calendar.
• If new users sign up for an event, then add them to a Slack channel.
• If content changes, then record who edited it in a Google spreadsheet.
