Awesome Apps for Accounting: IF by IFTTT
IF by IFTTT (“If This Then That”) has been an extremely useful tool in my web automation efforts. Through this website and app, I create “recipes” so that when a certain event happens in one app, an action is automatically triggered in another app. I use it for some social media activities, for example, posting Instagrams as Twitter photos. Here’s another one: by sending a text to my phone number, I can turn the volume up. Since I mute my phone often, this one is a life saver when it decides to play hide-and-seek between the couch cushions. Business owners and accountants could use IF to create custom alerts and make accounting easier. Here are a few I found:- A business owner using Square point of sale software to accept credit card payments might want to be alerted when large refunds are issued.
- A company using Stripe to process online payments can add each sale automatically to Google Sheets.
- Do you ever forget to pay your phone bill? If you get the bill via e-mail, this recipe will put an appointment on your calendar to pay it.
- It’s not easy to keep a manual mileage log, but IF pairs Automatic (a device you plug into your car) with Google Drive to document your miles.
- Based on your iOS location, this recipe will log your work hours.
