So what does "If This Then That" mean? IFTTT is a service that connects the apps you love. 
IFTTT is a free web-based service that allows users to create chains of simple conditional statements, called "recipes", which are triggered based on changes to other web services such as Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. IFTTT is an abbreviation of "If This Then That".

​Ok. Let me try to explain this in English ...
The internet is a wonderful thing chock-full of fun and useful experiences, but it can also complicate our lives.
With so many websites and apps in the world, you've probably experienced difficulty in managing them or even completing basic tasks. Luckily for you, there's a single web tool available that acts as an ultimate automation service for all your internet-connected things.
‘If this then that’ component basically means: If an event happens (this) in one application, it will trigger an action (that) within another one.
For instance, if someone comments on your WordPress blog you can thank them automatically with an email. If every time you post an image on Instagram it can be automatically uploaded as a Tumblr post. If every time you are tagged in a photo on Facebook, it will automatically save the photo to your iOS Photos.
These connections between channels are called ‘recipes’. These recipes can be created by yourself, or you can browse through ones that other users have created on IFTTT.com itself. And the "recipes" are for all of the things we need: connecting your home, keeping in touch, being more productive, news alerts, staying healthy and shopping smarter.
IFTTT is accessible on your desktop, can be downloaded as an app for the iPhone or Android and can also be integrated into your blogging platform: WordPress or Google Blogger for instance.
There is an endless array of ‘recipes’ to make your life easier.

IFFT just released some "recipes" for weebly. Some of the things you can do are ...
1. Create a to-do item if a sale posts to your Weebly website
2. Get an IF notification when someone posts a comment to your blog
3. Publish a post on your Weebly blog if you upload a video to Instagram
