AFAIK, what you do with your own data via IFTTT is entirely up to you. Is there any evidence or indication IFTTT is misusing, or could miuse it? Of course it asks for a lot of permissions -- the idea is that you can use it to replace APIs for everything.

Of course it asks for a lot of permissions -- the idea is that you can use it to replace APIs for everything. I have not heard of anything. IFTTT recipes have really made my life nicer through automating certain things, which includes gmail interactions. It'll be a bummer if support cannot continue. I understand Google's changing of the rules, but am surprised IFTTT hasn't been in front of this change.

- shkkmo 8y agoIMHO, giving an additional third party access to your main email account which is usually the key to your entire online identify seemed like a major increase in security risks. I think Google's concern is less that IFTTT is going to hack you and more that IFTTT may not be securely handling this data and may be hacked. I would only give IFTTT access to a secondary email address that recieves specific types of emails, possibly automatically forwarded by Gmail's filtering rules.
