Tumblr is fully compatible with IFTTT, a tool that lets you connect together different sites and services to perform actions on your behalf. In our case, IFTTT can be set up to do things like post on your Tumblr blog automatically when you do something on another platform!
Applets
IFTTT applets are pre-bundled combinations of triggers, actions, and queries.
Yep, we've scooped that goodness together for you so you can jump right to it. ❤️
Triggers
Triggers are the outbound-from-Tumblr options available for you to pipe into other services. Want to send just your audio posts somewhere? No problem. Need to route only posts having a certain tag? Can do.
Actions
Actions are the flip side of that—the inbound-to-Tumblr things that you can have your applet do.
We support various post types you know and love: text, photo, quote, link, audio, and video.
Pro tip: just send us a video url in the video action or just audio url in the audio action. We automatically do some swanky unfurling for major services when you just send us a link.
Pro tip #2: lean on the link action type and just send us that link when your incoming content isn't one of those. We do the same there too!
