Every day we get 100s of requests to make IFTTT do more, multiple actions, conditionals, etc. We've always believed that we could make something more powerful AND easier to use. Applets allow a broader audience to turn on new experiences for any of the services they use. They also allow those ready for something more powerful than a just a recipe to access those tools via our Partner Platform and bring what they've built back to that broader audience on IFTTT. If you are ready to take the plunge and build Applets beyond if this then that, check out our Partner Platform: https://www.producthunt.com/post... We are incredibly proud of Applets and the new IFTTT. We hope you enjoy! Would love to hear your feedback and will iterate and improve ASAP. Applets are just the beginning of an entirely new stage for our company. We believe that everyone deserves the confidence to control their world and that the services we use should work together!

@ltibbets Hi again from Waterloo, met you through Nabil when you were here! Thanks for moving towards multiple actions from a trigger, it's a godsend as my condo becomes a mishmash of multiple smart bulb manufacturers' products. With the assistant channel I was having to say "turn on my lights" followed by :turn on my other lights" whenever I came home.

@thatmattgardner hello Matt! Good to hear you dig it. We will be following up with even more soon. which different set of lights do you have?

@ltibbets Wemo wall switches, Hue overhead, and some Wemo plugs into lights. I think when you and Nabil came over the lights switched off because I'd messed up the recipe with my August lock :p My ideal combo would probably have me coming home turn on my wemo and hue lights, set my thermostat, turn on a tv, and cast something or play music (I know cast isn't playing ball yet, but a man can dream).

@ltibbets So happy to see you are recycling the term "Applet". It's time to make Applets cool again 🤓. Looks awesome BTW.
