| Start out by going to www.ifttt.com, and clicking on either sign in (if youve been here before) or sign up. |
 |
| If you clicked Sign In, it should take you here (assuming you remembered your login). If you clicked Sign Up, youll have to click through a few pages to get to this page. Once youre here, click Channels. |
 |
| Then scroll down until you see the Craigslist logo. Click on the peace sign. |
 |
| Then scroll down until you get to the Triggers option, and click it. |
 |
| The one we like the best is on the far left, which tells IFTTT to send us an e-mail when a Craigslist search results page is updated. Click that button. |
 |
| That should take you to this page, where it gives a spot to enter the url of a Craigslist search. |
 |
| Now open a new tab in your browser and |
navigate to your local Craigslist. Enter in a search term or click on one of the subcategories. Today, were going to look only for free stuff.

| Search for something youd like to find. Katie says, "why would you eat pancakes you found for free on Craigslist?!" |
 |
| Good point, Katie. Lets use some of Andrews tricks to search for free windows instead so we can make a greenhouse! Then, copy the url from the browser address bar... |
 |
| ...and paste it into the IFTTT form, then click Add. |
 |
| Success! Now click Done. |
 |
| That takes you to a page where you can give the recipe a title. Thats helpful if you set up more than one search, because they all default to the same title. |
 |
| Thats better! |
 |
| Then, scroll down and click Update. Youre done! Youll get an e-mail from IFTTT whenever the results page for your search is updated. Normally, we get the e-mail about an hour after something has been posted. To see stats on your recipe, scroll back up to the top and click on My Recipes. Happy Craigslisting! |
