I have Alexa and Google enabled and connected to several things around the house; like

my fire stick responds to "Alexa, show backyard camera" and

my Eufy Smart lock responds to "Google unlock front door"

Is there any way in an IFTTT App to cause these actions to happen without using the Alexa or Google phrases? For example, I'd like to somehow remotely trigger the unlock or lock action and am thinking IFTTT might be able to emulate "saying": 'Hey Google...' to my smart lock.

BTW, I'm aware that the smart lock is controllable via its own phone app, but I don't always have access to that.

Ideas appreciated.

Thanks

I am a new user of iffit and just made an applet to charge my Razr 50 Ultra. The idea was to use AccuBattery to send a notification once my phone reaches 80% charge, and then turn off my TP-link Tapo Smart Plug using iffit.

I have iffit all the permissions it required, including the special app permission to read notifications. When testing, iffit never use identified any notification that came through from AccuBattery. I tried this using the specific app toggle, with multiple different apps and it never recognised it.

I also tried the general notification toggle which only seemed to work immediately after restarting my phone. This tells me it has access to my notifications, it just isn't accurately scanning for them.

Any help is appreciated.

Is there a way to use multiple triggers - camera movement and time of day etc. I can only see a way to use one trigger

I have used the twitter-to-spreadsheet applet by years. Some months ago it was announced that the service will need to be payed due to changes on twitter API. I didn't have a Pro account on that time then the service stopped. Now I found that the spreadsheet was deleted from my google drive, is there any option to recover that file?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy a Govee Wi-Fi Thermometer (model H5179) and a WeMo Wi-Fi Smart Plug Outlet to automate my heating system using IFTTT. My goal is to have the smart plug turn ON or OFF based on the room temperature detected by the thermometer.

From my research, it seems both devices are compatible with IFTTT and don’t require a hub, but I’m new to this and would love some guidance:

1. Are these devices fully compatible with IFTTT for the automation I want?
2. Are there other devices (thermometers or smart plugs) you would recommend instead?
3. Any tips on setting up the applet in IFTTT for temperature-based control?

I’d really appreciate your advice and suggestions to make sure everything works smoothly before I make the purchase.

Thanks in advance!

None of the applets I create work when pressed?

Hi all, I'm a small business owner looking for help automating my record keeping using google sheets. I have to keep track of the number of appointments each of my clients has and on really busy days I'm finding myself struggling to remember to tally up appointments for people to keep track of how many they've paid for vs how many they've completed. I use square appointments but it becomes quite laborious to try to go through it and make sure everything adds up properly based on how many sessions people pay for, and how many they have completed. I'm a one man operation and also run another business by myself as well so I'm just trying to simplify day-to-day operations as much as possible.

All of my appointments are scheduled in my google calendar, which is linked to square appointments, so I'm wondering if there is any way to create a spreadsheet that would be linked to my calendar so that every time an event/appointment is completed in my calendar it adds to the running tally of the number of appointments in the spreadsheet. The catch is that I would need to have a specific tally for each event that goes by the same name, so that I can keep my appointment tally's specific to each customer.

To provide an example of what I'm talking about I created a spreadsheet to give you an idea of the concept I have in my head, here's a screenshot of it: https://imgur.com/a/tX7wH5a

I'm not sure if this is possible but if anyone could help me out I'd be very grateful! I have no knowledge of coding or computer software/programming stuff so I'm really at a loss here.

Thanks

I'm trying to forward tweets to reddit. The search query is broken for a couple days now.

I’m looking to post once and replicate to both/or Flickr and Bluesky

I’ve been running a recipe for Instagram-> Flickr for years.

Anyone have Bluesky in their mixes?

I don’t get it. I found that you can not have a Google sheet in Google Drive root folder. So I created the folder Home. And created a sheet in there called Home. Then I refer to cell B2, to set the value to On. I created a Siri shortcut to run the script. No errors But it just DOES NOT work. I would expect it to create an IFTTT folder on my drive if the path is left empty. Also doesn’t work. Can someone please help me out?

I've got several applets that insert tweets into EVernote notes. The new tweets always appear at the bottom, but when I see the updated notes in the list of notes, I only see the oldest note at the top, and I'd like to see the newest instead. Is there a way to do that?

I'm open to workarounds. Maybe I'll have the same tweets appear as Notifications at the same time, but they'd be fleeting.

Is there anyway that I can make my alarm system actually use my Google home to play the alarm on the speakers or something? The homebase is very quiet

I’m looking for a physical button I could press that will trugger a rule in IFTTT.

any ideas?

Just checking...

Is it common for IFTTT to not have any options for automations I'm needing? They're pretty basic: New task in ClickUp created a new transaction in Wave; New gmail labeled Important" triggers an SMS; Google form completed triggers an email response. I submitted suggestions for each but wondering...

Is this a common experience for others??

I have tried using 3-4 different applets to duplicate Google Cal to iOS. When I start the linking for Google, it comes up like normal, asks me to authenticate, and then asks me to grant permissions if I trust ifttt. Then, it will return to IFTTTs page and the process starts all over again. It will continue to do this until I hit the back arrow and then cancel the operation. Anyone got any ideas?

I have an Eufy doorlock. Using Google Assistant I can command it lock or unlock. Nice.

However, I'd like to trigger it when I'm away from my phone using a schedule or ideally pressing the big Connect button for an applet on the IFTTT website. There's discussion in their tutorials and other places how to use Google Assistant in an IFTTT app to trigger it by voice command. This is not what I'm after. I don't know if its possible, but I thought since I have the "routine" in Google Assistant to interact with the door lock, I could somehow tell IFTTT to just run the routine. I'm new to this so I'm likely missing something.

Thanks

I don't want to check IG every day. Is there a way to get a notification when someone updates their account? I looked but didn't see anything relevant. Thanks.

I wanted to put in the IF part of the applet the Email (since Gmail is not available anymore). I get the options "Send IFTTT any email" and "Send IFTTT an email tagged". I choose the second and then I'm asked to put a tag (hashtag in the subject.)

I do all these, set the THAT part of applet to send an SMS that I want.

But when I send an email nothing triggers. The email I send from to ifttt email is the same one (a gmail address) I signed up on IFTTT.

Do I miss something? I even tried to put only the hashtag on title not to confuse it.

Is this still not fixed yet? The most recent search result I found was 9 months ago and I can’t see that anything changed. It looks like Drayton Wiser is the only option for IFTTT support now and they are EXPENSIVE

I want to send some Simplisafe (security system) notifications to webhooks, in order to informally integrate Simplisafe with home automation.

I can set-up notifications in Simplisafe via multiple: email, SMS, and ios/Android notification routes. (Unsure of Android, actually, I have iOS). This allows the system to e.g. notifiy multiple individuals.

Currently, I get both SMS and notifications on my iOS devices. (Belt and suspender.) But they are just notifications that pop up on my phone.

IFTTT SMS service is basically deprecated, and at least limited (100 messages/month).

IFTTT has a (non-SMS) notification service for Android users, but not iOS.

I'm thinking I need some "cloud" SMS address that I will dedicate to this. Or at least to peforming automations when it receives texts that match some text. I'd prefer not to use email, as it is more likely to be delayed.

Example: run an automation when exterior camera motion is detected. I might use that to turn on some lights with my HA system. (Simplisafe cameras have a light that can be configured to turn on with motion, but it's a wimpy light, and I want to turn on all the outside lights.)

Looking for recommendations as to which service would be easiest/most convenient/lowest cost.

I do have a Google account and Google Voice set-up. Can I do it that way?

Otherwise, there is Twilio and several competitors. But: which one?

I have two Applets, which is permitted without subscribing to the pro program. One turns my porch lights on when I arrive and one turns on my front door lights inside the house

One is a hue lightbulb and the other a WEMO switch.

Anyone have an idea why my Applets are not running? Do you now have to join for anything to work?

I am trying to open a smart blind via a scene in Smart Life by triggering it from an Ewelink button (Like R5 or TX ultimate) via IFTTT. The Ewelink button triggers, but the scene in Smart Life fails. If I click the scene in the Smart Life app, it works. The message I received says the scene "scene name" failed to open. I also tried adding a 15-second delay between the trigger and the action, but I still got the message just 15 seconds later. I will have to cancel the subscription if this does not work.

I'm running a simple twitter/gmail applet that emails me every time a certain user is mentioned. The text within the email is quite small and I'm wondering if there's HTML to fix this. Some that I've tried doesn't seem to be working.
