2 ready-made LinkedIn and NPR Applets
Turn one on, or build your own. NPR can start an automation with "New story published", and IFTTT can then run "Share a link" on LinkedIn.
Automate LinkedIn and NPR from your AI assistant
Ask Claude to create LinkedIn applets that share your content automatically, so you can post once and reach your professional network with IFTTT MCP.
Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own LinkedIn and NPR workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
6 triggers, queries, and actions
New story published
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
The Trigger fires every time a new story is published on NPR in the selected category, program, or topic.
History of story published
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of stories published on NPR in the selected category, program, or topic.

An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
