IFTTT (If This Then That) provides a browser-first platform for connecting disparate web services, applications, and IoT devices through event-driven automation. Users define 'Applets' with a simple 'If This, Then That' logic, enabling cross-platform data flow and action orchestration without requiring custom code. It serves as a web-native integration layer for personal and light business automation, emphasizing discoverability of pre-built connections and ease of activation.
