What is IFTTT for LinkedIn?
IFTTT (If This, Then That) is a nifty tool that enables users to automate certain tasks between various third-party apps. This applies to LinkedIn as well. IFTTT has a number of preset automations called “recipes,” such as “Get an email when a LinkedIn connection changes jobs” or “If new job is added by a company I follow, send me an email.”
These recipes are especially useful for connecting LinkedIn with third-party platforms. A recipe like “Automatically update your LinkedIn profile with relevant articles from Feedly” merges two platforms to provide an automated, active and relevant LinkedIn presence, without the busy-work of finding relevant articles and posting them. It’s a type of automation that saves time without feeling obviously automated to those seeing your Linkedin activity.
Why should you use IFTTT for LinkedIn automation?
Quite simply, IFTTT saves time. It connects LinkedIn to other services, websites and platforms and saves you the effort of manually doing particular tasks between LinkedIn and the connected site.
Linkedin automation recipes include:
- Automatically post it on LinkedIn when you take an Instagram at work
- Share your Instagrams to LinkedIn when use a specific hashtag
- Share Facebook Page photos to your network when you use the hashtag #Li
- Automatically share your new YouTube uploads to your professional network
- Let your professional network know when you’re in a certain location
- Tag a WordPress post with LinkedIn to automatically share the link with your network
- Automatically post your tweets on LinkedIn when you tag them with #Li
Now just imagine if you had to do the above manually. There are not enough hours in the day!
How much does IFTTT for LinkedIn cost?
IFTTT for LinkedIn is free to use. Yes, free!
