What is IFTTT?<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re not familiar with IFTTT<\/a>, here\u2019s a quick explainer. IFTTT (If This, Then That) is a service that gives you the ability to create Applets (formerly recipes) that use a trigger to force a specific action. If something is on the internet (or even just internet connected \u2014 hello, Internet of Things!), you can IFTTT it. But let\u2019s focus on one really easy Applet: RSS to email.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> You will have to create an IFTTT account<\/a> to get set up.<\/p>\n

AutoCAD + IFTTT<\/h2>\n

So, you have your shiny new (or awesome vintage) IFTTT account ready to go. What comes next? It\u2019s easy; in fact, I did it in under 30 seconds!<\/p>\n

First, you have to create your new Applet. You can do this by selecting New Applet from the profile dropdown in the upper right-hand corner, or by going to My Applets > New Applet.<\/p>\n

Important:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Copy this url<\/a>, because you\u2019ll need it to set up the Applet.<\/p>\n

On the next screen, click +this<\/strong>, and then select RSS from the options below. Next, choose New feed item and paste in the AutoCAD forum RSS link provided just above, and click Create Trigger.<\/p>\n

Now, click +that<\/strong>, and select Email from the options below. You\u2019ll get only one option (Send me an email), so click that. On the next screen, simply hit Create action.<\/p>\n

On the (what I promise is the last) screen, you can retitle the Applet to whatever is most helpful for you! Just select what\u2019s in there, delete, and type away (within 140 characters). Then hit Finish.<\/p>\n

Think it seems like a lot of work? Check out the 25-second video below for proof that it\u2019s easy:<\/p>\n
