+IFTTT Connector
+===============
+
+The purpose of this connector is to use [IFTTT](http://www.ifttt.com)
+to mirror posts from remote networks like Facebook.
+
+IFTTT (IF This Then That) is a service that triggers commands on
+definable conditions.
+
+Its main purpose is to mirror your own posts from Facebook as if they
+would have been posted directly on Friendica but it should be possible
+to mirror posts from other networks as well.
+
+Every time when IFTTT detects that there is a new post on the remote
+network, it triggers an HTTP POST call on the Friendica server that
+creates a post from the connected account.
+
+By now there is a posting loop detection for Facebook but not for any
+other network. So please be careful to not mirror from networks where
+you post your items via Friendica.
