How to track price drops with TrackIf and IFTTT for iPhone

From tech gadgets to clothes to our favorite tv shows and movies, prices for our favorite things are constantly changing online. If time isn’t an issue, I can show you how to get fantastic deals with only two iPhone apps, TrackIf and IF by IFTTT. Once set up, you can easily track price drops effortlessly. Here’s how…

How to find the best deal with TrackIf and IF by IFTTT

After downloading and installing TrackIf you’re going to want to create an account and start compiling lists. I was searching for an incredible deal on the Game of Thrones box set of books, and I ended up getting it for approximately 66% off its usual price! I added the box set to my books list by using TrackIfs search and started tracking it. After you start tracking a product, you can always go back to its page in TrackIf to see its price history. If you wanted to get notified of a price drop right away, that’s where IF by IFTTT comes in.

IF by IFTTT uses worfklows to connect various apps and services together, which are called recipes. In the IF app, use this recipe to bring up the ‘Send notifications for price drops’ workflow which integrates a TrackIf channel and the SMS channel. All you’ll have to do is place the product’s link in the url box and connect your phone number to the SMS section to get a text message each time the price drops! You’ll have to do this for each product you want a notification for, but it’s worth it for all the savings.

If you want to go one further, you can track your newly ordered product with another great app, Shipments by Nick Porter. It has a super useful Today View widget, and is currently $1.99.
