A few days back I was integrating twitter to show feeds on starling, then I realized the things people will try displaying on starling would be numerous. In fact it would just too much of work on everyones end to make and use web REST APIs. Then, Josh Lifton of CrowdSupply had suggested using IFTTT. It works on a very simple principle. If This Than That. This can be any of the 250+ services it supports and that happens to be starling in our case.

Okay, let me show you a simple use case with twitter:

Display tweet on starling with hastag #IndvsSA

Creating a recipe on IFTTT is as good as eating a piece of cake. There are only 2 things.
