Automations for students

Hey students, we see you. Between classes, clubs, part-time jobs, sports, and maybe even trying to eat something green once in a while, your schedule is stacked! If there were 25 hours a day, you'd still be overbooked.

Good news: you’ve got IFTTT in your corner. Save time that’s usually spent getting organized and managing your schedule by automating the manual tasks you don’t want to deal with. Use IFTTT to handle the boring stuff like syncing calendars, organizing files, and setting reminders, so you can focus on the important things like passing your finals or making it to that 8 AM (...barely).

With 1000+ digital apps available on IFTTT, we integrate with many of the platforms you already use in your student life, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Calendar, iOS Calendar, and more.

P.S. Teachers and education professionals, if you’ve stumbled across this blog, we’ve got something for you too! Check out your own curated collection here. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget about you!

Smooth scheduling

It can be a challenge to coordinate your class and work schedules while also managing upcoming deadlines. With IFTTT, you can use keyword-based triggers in Google Calendar to get updates on the upcoming events that are most important to you.

You can even use the Note widget to quickly create calendar events or jot down reminders on the go, perfect for when you're rushing between classes or collaborating on a group project. And for extra peace of mind, you can also get notifications for specific events on your calendar using the "Event from search starts" trigger in Google Calendar for events when an assignment is due, so you don't miss a deadline.

Study buddy

Figure out how much time you are dedicating to studying each week with this Google Sheets tracker or use a weekly digest as a reminder to help you stay on top for your next test. If you have smart lights in your dorm or house, you could set a scene and start a study playlist with the press of a button.

If you have a group chat with your team or friends from a specific class, automate reminders to keep everyone ready for the next quiz.

Easy reminders

Widgets are a great way to create quick reminders or save notes from a study sesh. Use the Camera widget to take a photo of what your professor drew on the whiteboard during a lecture, then have it saved directly to a Google Drive folder for that class. This will help you limit your screenshots and keep your files organized.
