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.
Set up 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.
6 triggers, queries, and actions
New story
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This trigger fires each time there is a new article on Slashdot.
History of stories

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 new articles on Slashdot.
