Hello. Time for another onboarding! Todays product: IFTTT, which stands for If This Then That. A great tool for connecting different services with each other.

Home page

• The IFTTT style is clean, big typography
• The home page is made ugly by the big banner to download their mobile apps
• It is not really debatable what to do next: Join IFTTT

Sign up form

• 4 fields: username, e-mail, password and confirm password
• Confirm password is not used much and can easily be reset via a lost password option

Getting started: explanation of the phrase

• This is what makes IFTTT so strong: the way it works is explained in the name of the product
• I have to click on the only blue thing in this screen, this is also good (reusing the same action color consistently)

• Ahhhh animations! Clicking on the “this” scrolls a list of icons which seem to end randomly on “Tomorrow’s forecast calls for rain”. Action color moves to “that”
• Clicking on “that” animates it to “Send me an email”
• A progress bar fills up, again with a nice animation

Getting started: connect channels to create a receipe

• No action required, just a nice graphic to show how it works
• Clear next step button

Getting started: select interesting channels

• It is not really clear why I should select channels
• I like the colors
• Missing hoverstates
• I need to select at least 3 to continue
• After selecting 3 channels, a nice loading animation spins while my personal dashboard is set up. This takes a while

Dashboard

• A collection of recipes I might like
• No visual indication that I’m done with the onboarding process
• I did not really create my first channel in onboarding, this was just an explanation
• Would be cool to guide me trough setting up my first recipe
