Using a pre defined recipe

To make things easy to the user, we made two recipes that would have more use cases:

If Shippo Then SMSIf Shippo Then Gmail

To start using an existing recipe: Go to the recipe link (Gmail as example): 1 https://ifttt.com/recipes/384912-if-shippo-then-gmail

1Put your email address.

Click Add

Note that if you use this recipe you’ll receive a pretty e-mail like this:

because we put an HTML in the body of the email when creating the

recipe (You can do that too if you create a recipe with Email or anything

that accepts an html). The html is in github.
