Being a creator is more than just creating. From brainstorming, recording, editing, publishing, promoting, responding (all for a single piece), it can be exhausting. Add to that the pressure of managing multiple platforms, staying consistent, and trying to grow an audience, and it’s easy to feel burnt out. That’s why, over time, more creators are relying on tools that let them focus on the creative part of the process.

IFTTT connects over 1000 of your favorite apps and services so you can automate repetitive tasks. For creators, this means less time brainstorming, posting, or sharing—and more time making the content you love. Whether you’re a podcaster, YouTuber, TikToker, streamer, writer, or digital artist, IFTTT helps streamline your workflow by linking popular services.

Support your community and let them support you

Creating consistent content takes energy. While platforms shift and algorithms evolve, one thing remains constant: audiences want to support the creators they love. IFTTT makes it easier for you to connect with your audience. For example, you can automatically send a thank-you message when someone subscribes to your Twitch channel or joins your email list.

We recently launched a new integration with Buy Me a Coffee; a simple, no-strings-attached way for your audience to show their appreciation with support or membership (often the price of a coffee). Whether it’s one-time support or monthly membership perks, you can use IFTTT to stay connected to your most loyal fans.

Buy Me a Coffee has three key triggers:

1. One-Time Support: Fires when someone makes a one-time contribution.
2. Membership Started: Fires when someone joins your membership program.
3. Membership Cancelled: Fires when someone cancels their membership.

With these triggers, you can automatically log support in a spreadsheet, send a personalized thank-you message, or even celebrate a new member with a shoutout on social media. It’s a simple way to build deeper relationships!

Reach more people with less effort

You’ve put in the time to craft a great piece of content, whether it’s a YouTube video, blog post, podcast, or reel. But posting it in one place isn’t enough anymore. Your audience is scattered across platforms, and reaching them means showing up where they are. Still, who has time to manually repost the same update to five different sites? Well, with automation, you can automatically publish your content across platforms.

Here are some automations creators are using right now to save time and stay consistent:

Let AI lighten the content load

At IFTTT, we’ve built a growing collection of AI tools to help creators save time and stay productive. You can set up automations that generate social media content like post summaries, hashtags, titles, and descriptions—instantly and in your tone of voice. Our AI Content Creator can even generate long-form content like blogs, outlines, or video scripts.

Want something platform-specific? Try tools like our AI LinkedIn Assistant, AI YouTube Assistant, AI Twtitter Assistant, or AI Facebook Assistant. Each one adapts your posts to suit the formatting and best practices of that platform.

Take the AI YouTube Assistant, for example. It can enhance your YouTube workflow by generating video descriptions or uploading videos automatically. Have a new idea? This tool can even generate a full script in a Google Doc to kickstart your next video.

Stay organized with smarter workflows

Creating content is just one part of the job, staying organized is another. From managing sponsorship deadlines and content calendars to juggling production schedules and to-do lists, it can get overwhelming fast. But with automation, you can build workflows that keep your projects moving and your mind at ease.

Using tools like Notion, Asana, Todoist, and Google Calendar, you can sync your tasks and deadlines so you’re always on top of what needs to get done. For example, you can automatically add Google Calendar events when Asana tasks are due, perfect for managing production timelines. Or set up an automation that sends you a daily digest of your Todoist tasks, so you always start the day with clarity.
