IFTTT
If This Then That
​IFTTT (If This Then That) is primarily a cloud-based automation platform that connects various web services and devices to enable users to create simple conditional statements, known as applets. These applets allow one service or device to trigger actions in another, facilitating automation across different platforms.
IFTTT facilitates communication between cloud services and edge devices, enabling users to create automations that leverage both cloud-based processing and local edge computing capabilities. However, the core functionality of IFTTT itself remains cloud-centric.
