AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
IFTTT Post Formats & Post Types is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Post types category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How IFTTT Post Formats & Post Types works
Show full descriptionShow less
IFTTT (if this, then that) is one of the coolest web services available, and allows you to connect your different web service accounts to create ‘recipes’. An example of a recipe that I have is to create a new WordPress post on my blog whenever I favorite a YouTube video.
Unfortunately IFTTT doesn’t have a way to specify a post format or a custom post type, so this plugin provides a couple ways to update them.
To set the post format, you need to set the category in IFTTT to one of the following categories:
ifttt-aside
ifttt-gallery
ifttt-link
ifttt-image
ifttt-quote
ifttt-status
ifttt-video
ifttt-audio
ifttt-chat
So for my YouTube -> WordPress recipe, I have it adding the ‘ifttt-video’ category in IFTTT (IFTTT allows you to specify the category for the posts it creates), and voilà, when it’s published, the format has been set.
If you want to instead set the new post to a custom post type, you can do so by setting the category in IFTTT to one that matches this pattern: ifttt-posttype-{post_type_slug}. So if you wanted to create new WordPress pages with IFTTT, you would add the ifttt-posttype-page category.
And finally, if you want the IFTTT categories to be stored as a different taxonomy, you can do so by setting the category in IFTTT to one that matches this pattern: ifttt-taxonomy-{taxonomy_slug}.
Note: These speciall ifttt-* categories will not actually be set on the post/page/object. These are ‘special’ categories which simply serve as flags for which post format, post-type or taxonomy to send the data to, and they are removed from the list of categories which are actually stored to the post.
Hope you find this useful!
