1. Sync Reddit & Google Sheets with IFTTT [5 minutes]

By syncing Reddit and Google Sheets with IFTTT, you can streamline your Reddit experience and make it easier to keep track of the information you need. Whether you’re using Reddit for research, tracking specific posts, or just want to analyze trends, IFTTT's free automation tools can save you the most time and energy, as this is the only automatic method.

Since IFTTT is automatic, it doesn’t require any technical/coding expertise, while other methods require more configuration. So, for those who aren’t tech-savvy, or value each second of your day, this is for you.

First, what is IFTTT?

IFTTT is our free web-based service and mobile app designed to boost productivity by automating tasks. It works by creating connections between over 800 popular apps and services, allowing them to work together seamlessly.

The basic idea behind IFTTT is to create "applets" or sets of instructions that trigger when certain conditions are met. This can be turning on the lights automatically when you enter your house, for example.

Founded in 2011, IFTTT has been used by over 25 million individuals to automate both business and home tasks, saving time and increasing efficiency. It's commonly used to connect disparate services and systems, making all products and services work well together in a way that instills user confidence. Best of all, it's free and only takes a couple of minutes to set up.
