Share new Slashdot stories on LinkedIn
1 ready-made LinkedIn and Slashdot Applets
Turn one on, or build your own. Slashdot can start an automation with "New story", and IFTTT can then run "Share a link" on LinkedIn.
Automate LinkedIn and Slashdot 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.

Create your own LinkedIn and Slashdot 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.
