Automate with IFTTT

IFTTT is an automation service for simple trigger-action scenarios, like adding data to Google Sheets, sending emails, or posting Slack messages when a render completes.

IFTTT offers two free Applets; additional Applets or advanced features require an IFTTT Pro subscription.

Before you start, go to IFTTT website and register if you don't have an account yet.
