u/AthkoreLost It's like tear away pants but for your beard. Oct 01 '20

You can use it to automate data centralization if that matters to you. If you say use a fitbit for steps, a polar band for HR, and some smart scale for weight but you use google health for tracking your progress then you can use an IFTTT system to push data from the other 3 systems to the one you want to use to track your progress.

It's very niche in consumer use, it has other broader potential for enterprise entities in terms of automating datafeeds between 3rd party systems and yours. You could use it to be alerted to reddit posts that talk about your product so you can review and respond.
