An automated workflow using ifttt
Connects Facebook + Flickr
Send facebook tagged photos to flikr
About this workflow template
This automation scenario allows you to connect Facebook and Flickr
It can be build using Ifttt, a no-code workflow automation tool. Ifttt allows you to create automated bots using a simple drag-and-drop interface for non-technical users. This is a ready-made scenario, but it can be customized by adding more apps, actions, filters or branches.
