(source: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ifttt) Ever wanted to get out of a boring meeting in between? Wanted that music video you saw to be added to your Spotify playlist? Ever wanted to text a person when you reach somewhere? Or your mobile WiFi to get turned on automatically when you reach home?

The developers name themselves literally as Microsoft Garage!)
