What is the difference between if Applet and a Do Applet on IFTTT?

Asked a year ago
The difference between an if Applet and a Do Applet on IFTTT lies in the way they function within the platform. An if Applet acts as the trigger, initiating the action when a specific condition or event occurs. It monitors a specific service or device for a particular event and then carries out the requested action. On the other hand, a Do Applet performs an action directly when manually triggered by the user through the IFTTT mobile app or website. It allows users to create custom buttons or widgets to execute specific actions, such as turning on/off lights, sending messages, or launching apps. While if Applets automate tasks based on specific triggers, Do Applets give users greater control by enabling instant manual execution of tasks.
