If you’re looking for an IFTTT alternative that can automate more, better and smarter, this post is for you!
Not all that long ago, IFTTT was the ultimate way to get apps to automatically perform tasks. We used it here at WPCrafter and it worked incredibly well.
But the world never stays still, and what was once the default way to automate is now falling behind.
With the rise of AI, there are now many more capable IFTTT alternatives that perform intelligent automations for everyday tasks.
Whether you run a website, eCommerce store or small business, automation is the future.
If you like the idea of automating repetitive tasks without requiring a degree in software engineering, one of these 15 IFTTT alternatives could be just what you’re looking for!
What IFTTT Is
IFTTT stands for ‘If This, Then That’. It’s a trigger-based application that uses triggers, actions and ingredients.
- Trigger = The event you configure to set the ball rolling
- Action = What you want to happen once triggered
- Ingredients = Data relevant to the trigger
It’s a logical, linear ‘if X happens do Y’ process that works a little something like this:
- You set a trigger that activates when you receive an email into your general box.
- IFTTT will check what action to take from the configuration you set. For example, to route all ‘@support’ emails to the support mailbox.
- IFTTT automatically forwards the email to the relevant mailbox.
The configurations you make are called ‘recipes’ and outline the steps IFTTT can take to perform the desired action.
The ‘ingredients’ in this example include the support email address required by the action.
While that may sound like automation, it isn’t.
What IFTTT Is Not
IFTTT is not an automation tool, even though it describes itself as such. That’s because it uses simple scripts to perform actions and there’s no intelligence applied to the task.
If it isn’t in the script, it doesn’t happen.
A true automation tool is able to intelligently perform actions.
Let’s use the same example as above, setting a trigger that activates when you receive an email.
A true automation tool can:
- Check the email address it is sent to and forward it to the relevant team.
- Check subject lines, email body and even sender and forward according to more intelligent rules.
- Copy the email to several mailboxes at once, change priority, scan for malware and remove images or attachments.
- Annotate a report or counter and add the sender’s details to your CRM or mailing list.
- Alert agents via SMS, WhatsApp, Slack, and other tools for a faster response. Tools such as WANotifier provide excellent and efficient communication solutions with WhatsApp integration.
While you do have to set all those things up ahead of time similar to an IFTTT script (recipe), a true automation tool can apply much smarter thinking.
That’s just one example out of the many thousands, but we think it illustrates what constitutes automation and what doesn’t!
Where IFTTT Could Do Better
Aside from the thorny issue of what is automation and what isn’t, there are also other shortcomings where IFTTT doesn’t quite deliver.
They include:
Limited Free Version
We’re used to free versions being limited as that’s the way they work. But, IFTTT only lets you perform single step processes for free.
If you want to use multi-step, you’ll need the premium version.
It’s not a showstopper but it would be nice to be able to stretch IFTTT a little to see just what it’s capable of before having to pay.
Limited Triggers and Actions
IFTTT is compatible with literally thousands of apps and services. But most are simple notification or messaging services you can use without IFTTT.
If you want to perform simple tasks like alert you when your smart washing machine has finished or automatically post your new YouTube video to Discord, IFTTT is more than capable.
If you want to automate WordPress, an eCommerce store or office tasks, not so much.
Sequence Actions Are Notoriously Difficult
IFTTT is great for simple one step processes. It does support multiple tasks, but they are difficult to get right and can often error once configured.
While the platform does support multiple actions and even delays between actions, the scope is limited, even in the paid version.
Not Much Customization Possible
One of IFTTT’s strengths is its simplicity. Create a new applet, add the title, trigger, action, ingredients and save it as a recipe. It’s simple and anyone can do it.
The simplicity is also a limitation as that’s pretty much all you can do. All other actions are variations of that one process.
Tries To Do Everything Rather Than Specialize
IFTTT is a jack of all trades and master of none. Its breadth is wide, with thousands of interactions across hundreds of apps.
However, it’s broad but not deep. It only has simple interactions with those apps and isn’t capable of more complex automations.
Not Designed for Larger Businesses
We mentioned earlier that if you just wanted to perform basic tasks, IFTTT is ideal. But, if you’re looking for something more complex, this is not it.
While there are interactions with office apps and many everyday platforms, the limitations of how you can use it means it’s not ideal for enterprise.

15 Popular IFTTT Alternatives
IFTTT is very good at what it does and has been around for so long for good reason. But it isn’t automation software, however much it tries to convince us otherwise.
These 15 IFTTT alternatives do offer automation and deliver the features and capabilities we look for.
The WPCrafter team has tried and tested all of them so you don’t have to.
As we’re all about WordPress, we assess each of these plugins based on how they help manage a website.
SureTriggers
SureTriggers enables you to automate everyday website tasks and optimize workflows through triggers and actions.
It elevates automation beyond the basics with features like scheduling and conditional actions. It has a vast library of software integrations, including lots for WordPress and popular plugins.
SureTriggers has an intuitive interface, making it easy to learn and implement automations quickly. Simple drag and drop elements onto the page and you’re good to go.
Let’s see how it stacks up against IFTTT:
| Feature | SureTriggers | IFTTT |
|---|---|---|
| Customization | Lots. Offers scheduling, conditional actions, and custom logic. | Limited. Primarily “if this, then that” logic with basic scheduling and delays. |
| Integrations | 800+ connections with software, apps, and APIs. | Huge range, but integrations may be outdated or surface-level. |
| User interface | User-friendly, designed for ease of use. | Simple, but might be limiting for complex needs. |
| Price | Free plan available. Pro and Business plans for advanced needs, starting at $9/month. | Free plan. Pro and Pro+ plans offer more features, starting at $2.92/month. |

Pros
- Extensive integrations with WordPress and business software.
- User-friendly platform requiring minimal technical expertise.
- Advanced scheduling and conditional actions for tailored automations.
- Capable of multi-step automations and more intelligent processing.
- Drag and drop canvas automation builder.
Cons
- Larger enterprises may find more specialized tools more efficient.
- Fewer integrations than other tools but it’s growing rapidly
Great For
SureTriggers offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy to create automations, ideal for small and medium-sized websites and businesses.
Price
SureTriggers has three price plans:
- Free: Ideal for beginners, includes 1,000 tasks per month and many core features.

Why SureTriggers Outperforms IFTTT
SureTriggers delivers a much more customizable and user-friendly experience along with advanced scheduling and conditional actions. It’s a perfect fit for website owners prioritizing efficiency or wanting to reduce workload.
Zapier
Zapier is the IFTTT alternative to beat. It’s well established, has thousands of integrations, a free plan and is relatively simple to use.
It isn’t as intuitive as SureTriggers but integrates with many more apps and services. It also lets you create zaps (automations) using a simple process interface and comes with readymade templates to speed things along.
Pros of Zapier
- Over 7,000 integrations and counting
- Readymade templates covering many use cases
- SOCII and 256-bit AES security
- Lots of resources to help build automations

Cons of Zapier
- Quickly becomes complicated when you create multi-step automations
- Paid plans priced out of reach for smaller businesses or website owners
- Not as many WordPress automations as SureTriggers
Great For
The free Zapier plan is great for experimenting. Paid plans are more geared towards larger websites, multinetwork sites or businesses.
Price
Zapier has four plans:
- Free: Includes unlimited zaps and AI-powerups but limited to 2-step zaps.
- Professional: $19.99/month, adds webhooks, multi-step zaps, access to premium apps and support.
- Team: $69/month, adds unlimited users, shareds workspaces, shared connections and premier support.
- Enterprise: Custom pricing, full access to everything Zapier has to offer with designated support.
Why We Think It’s Better Than IFTTT
Zapier is better than IFTTT because it’s a true automation platform. It has deeper integrations with popular business apps and makes it (relatively) simple to set them up. Zapier isn’t for everybody though.
It can be a little unwieldy when you begin building more complex zaps though, and don’t get us started on the price!
Make
Make, formerly Integromat, is another no-code automation platform that makes it simple to automate repetitive tasks.
While it doesn’t have the same number of integrations as Zapier (1,000+), it’s just as easy to use and can help with most daily tasks for most businesses or WordPres users.
Pros of Make
- Over 1,000 supported apps and services
- Visual automation creator
- Supports multi-step automations
- Parallel scenario automations for more complex needs
- 300+ readymade Make APIs
Cons of Make

Great For
Make is a superb automation solution for established businesses or larger websites. You can perform simple automations, but it is capable of so much more.
Price
Make has five plans:
- Free: Includes 1,000 automations, access to all apps and the workflow builder.

Why We Think It’s Better Than IFTTT
We think Make it a better IFTTT alternative because it’s easier to use, has more intelligence and is capable of multi-step and even parallel automations.
If you run a busy website or eCommerce store, you may like Make’s interface and how easy it is to create intelligent workflows.
Zoho Flow
Zoho Flow is the office suite’s automation platform. It integrates seamlessly with those office apps and with 800+ other apps to deliver a decent IFTTT alternative.
Flows (Zoho’s version of zaps) and integrations are mainly based around office tasks. It does support webhooks and custom functions so you can stretch its capabilities a little.
Pros of Zoho Flow
- Integrates with 800+ apps including Zoho office apps
- No-code automation builder
- Supports decisions, delays, custom functions and advanced logic
- Webhook and API support for wider utility

Cons of Zoho Flow
- Works best if you already use Zoho products

- More for office tasks than website management
Great For
Zoho Flow is easy to use and uses a similar no-code builder to other apps. It works best if you already use Zoho, but is still worth checking out even if you don’t.
Price
Zoho Flow has two price plans:
- Standard: $29/month for 5,000 tasks, with 60-day flow history and 15 minute interval, support for logic, utilities and custom functions.
- Professional: $49/month for 10,000 tasks plus 90-day flow history, 5 minute interval, access to premium apps and auto-rerun feature.
Both plans allow you to increase the tasks for a price.
Why We Think It’s Better Than IFTTT
Zoho Flow is better because it allows for more intelligent automations while remaining just as straightforward to use.
You’ll benefit most if you already use Zoho apps but it’s still worth trying if you don’t.
Albato
Albato doesn’t have the same market presence as IFTTT or SureTriggers but it’s good at what it does. It isn’t very WordPress focused but it can still get the job done.
