Integrating IFTTT with Arattai

Integrating IFTTT with Arattai

Automate Channel Messages in Arattai  
 

What is IFTTT

IFTTT (If This Then That) is a no-code automation platform that connects apps and services using simple Applets.
An Applet follows a rule:
If this happens → then do that.
By integrating Arattai with IFTTT, you can automatically post messages to Arattai channels whenever an event occurs in another app, like publishing a new article, receiving a weather update, or scheduling a reminder.
 
What you can do  
  • Automatically post messages to Arattai channels.
  • Share updates, alerts, and reminders directly in chat.
  • Automate posts from weather, RSS, YouTube, or other sources.

Why connect Arattai to IFTTT

By connecting Arattai to IFTTT, you can automate posting messages into Arattai channels whenever external events occur. Instead of copy-pasting or manually notifying teams, the system does it for you.
Note: At present, Arattai’s connection to IFTTT only supports posting messages into channels. Direct messages, message edits, deletions, or Arattai-initiated triggers are not available yet.
You might want this integration for:
  • A media group that auto-publishes new articles, news, or weather updates into a channel
  • A business that notifies sales or support teams of new leads, tickets, or form submissions
  • Communities sending announcements, alerts, or automated reminders
