Create your own 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.

2 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

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 new articles on Slashdot.
