IFTTT Alternatives

An "if this then that" automation service. Think of all the things you could do if you were able to define any task as: when something happens (this) then do something else (that). It’s a basic framework, but one that impacts pretty much anything with a sort of cause and effect property.

There are several alternatives to IFTTT that provide "if this then that" functionality. Many of them are open source and available locally if you prefer to audit the code that you'll be using to add the convenience and quality of life improvements that task automation can provide.

IFTTT alternatives are mainly Task Automation Apps but may also be Workflow Automation Tools or Home Automation Tools. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of IFTTT.

IFTTT is a hostage of it's minimalism - no reasonable data conditioning can be done. Zapier gives a lot of tools to manipulate your data and to test it step by step.

Home Assistant vs IFTTT opinions
pros, cons and recent comments
EpicLPer
While it "can" be used for automating things (even online), Home Assistant is NOT a direct replacement or proper alternative for IFTTT, even just in terms of "ease of use" alone.
