Plone and IFTTT.com (If This Then That)

Continuing the discussion from GSoC 2018 Ideas: IFTTT plugin... but this deserves a thread of its own!

@Shriyanshagro did a great job and released collective.ifttt https://pypi.org/project/collective.ifttt with mentoring by @sally and @datakurre and assisted by Nejc Zupan (and of course @cewing's magnificent organizing of all our GSoC involvement).

He attended the conference in Tokyo and gave a presentation on his work https://2018.ploneconf.org/talks/now-play-within-ifttt-ecosystem (slides are at https://www.dropbox.com/s/inpqz5f5hcrzrzc/collectve.ifttt-Tokyo.pptx?dl=0 and video is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lt8XYiWRGs)

And, even more impressively, collective.ifttt was voted the #1 Plone add-on at the Tokyo conference!

There is excellent documentation for it at https://collectiveifttt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

PS: We have installed collective.ifttt onto Plone.org, initially to tweet news items and events automatically from the @Plone account, but we foresee more uses for it.
