What it does
The IFTTT bot bridges Telegram to the broader automation ecosystem at IFTTT.com. Once connected, you can build applets that trigger Telegram messages from over 360 other services, including RSS feeds, weather alerts, smart home devices, calendars, social media, and more.
It also works the other way around, letting Telegram activity start automations on other services. This makes Telegram a hub for personal automation, where new posts in a chat or channel can drive actions across your connected apps.
