Hi samupaha,
there are various ways to use IFTTT by using the rss feed that xeroc set up. See my https://steemit.com/steemit/@puffin/how-to-receive-a-mail-every-time-one-of-your-favorite-steemit-authors-sends-a-post-do-not-miss-out-on-curation-rewards-with-a for more information.
Such as
- if author X writes an article send me a mail
- Send me a mail if someones answers
- publish your post automatically on twitter or facebook or any other social media page (by using the rss feed containing your author name https://streemian.com/rss/@samupaha)
Just try it out, there are X ways to use IFTTT already.
Yeah, I use it already, but not with IFTTT. The RSS feeds go straight to my Inoreader.
But by integrating directly we could have much more triggers (basically anything that happens on the blockchain) and we would get much more visilibity (IFTTT is used by millions of people) which is a great way to do marketing. Because of these benefits I want to see this happening, I'm not suggesting this only to get a better usability of Steem for myself.
Yes, of course a straight integration into IFTTT would simplify things big time and allow plenty more options. So I am supporting your request.
