Channels
Channels are the "building blocks" of recipes. The majority of channels can be both "triggers" and "actions." There are 92 different channels, from news feeds to subscription services to the "internet of things."
Channel Examples
Dropbox
There are 2 triggers and 3 actions for Dropbox.
Gmail
There are 6 total triggers and 1 action for Gmail. Most of the time, you are going to do something to your Gmail (trigger) to send or create something (action) in another channel.
iOS Notifications
Because it's a notification system, iOS Notifications only can be an action.
Recipes
When you combine a "trigger" (this) with an "action" (that), you have created a recipe! A lot of times there are action fields associated with the trigger or action that allows you to customize that content that is shared. All recipes can be turned on and off if you don't want them to run.
Shared recipes
Once you create a recipe, you can share with others. You can browse other users' shared recipes to get ideas.
Favorites
Like a recipe but don't want it to run? You can favorite a recipe to save it for later.
