Post from Tumblr to Google+ using IFTTT

if-this-then-that

I'm using IFTTT to automatically post Tumblr posts to Facebook and Twitter.

These are 2 separate IFTTT recipes both using the Tumblr post as the starting point.

I'd also like to post to Google+. Is it possible to do this with IFTTT? I couldn't find the correct recipes to do this.

Unfortunately, no. Google+ doesn't have an API that allows for posting, so IFTTT can't hook into G+ to write posts.

There may be some workarounds (see if Buffer can help), but by and large you'll not be able to do what you want.

In the past when I'd done something similar, I had found a service (unfortunately, I forget the name) which could make an RSS feed out of my public G+ posts, and I used that to in turn post to Facebook and Twitter. Everything else I've seen about posting the same thing to multiple social networks required starting from G+ and moving out from there.

WordPress – How to Post to Custom Post Type from IFTTT

As the only way ifttt.com can post to Wordpress, is using the XML-RPC API, and that API currently doesn't support supplying custom post type while calling insert post methods(will support from 3.4), you can make use of the filter wp_insert_post_data. I accomplished that last month while building a hack. Here is a hack that would work the way you want, just add this to your functions.php file -

function redirect_xmlrpc_to_custom_post_type ($data, $postarr) {
    // This function detects a XML-RPC request and modifies it before posting

    $p2_custom_post_type = 'FanPost'; // Define your Custom post type

    if (defined('XMLRPC_REQUEST') || defined('APP_REQUEST')) {
        $data['post_type'] = $p2_custom_post_type; // sets the request post type to custom post type instead of the default 'Post'.
        return $data;
    }
    return $data;

}
// Add the filter
add_filter('wp_insert_post_data', 'redirect_xmlrpc_to_custom_post_type', 99, 2);

Remember, this filter will detect any insert post request via the XML-RPC API and insert them to FanPost type. Be it from ifttt.com or anywhere else.

Facebook – Does Facebook Block IFTTT Backup Recipes?

I had a problem once with an IFTTT task and I wrote to them. It was fixed within a day. So why don't you drop a mail to support@ifttt.com with your recipe ID and see what they have to say about this.
