What is IFTTT? IFTTT empowers you with creative control over the products and apps you love.

What are Applets? Applets are simple connections between products and apps. There are two types of Applets: Do Applets and IF Applets.

Do Applets run with just a tap and enable you to create your own personalized Button, Camera, and Notepad. The Do apps are available for iOS and Android.

IF Applets run automatically in the background. Create powerful connections with one simple statement — if this then that.

Services are the basic building blocks of Applets. Each Service has its own Triggers and Actions.

Actions are the then part of an Applet. Some example Actions are “send an email” or “create a status message on Facebook.”

Triggers are the if part of an IF Applet. Some example Triggers are “You’re tagged in a photo on Facebook” or “You check in on Foursquare.”

Help with creating an applet - Spend on Credit Card -> Move Funds (Monzo)

Hi there, I am trying to look at creating an applet where I spend money on my credit card and then the applet will move money from my monzo account into a pot ready for me to pay the balance at the end of the month so that I can ensure I am only spending what I can pay off immediately.

I have seen a few methods of people doing this where they have IFTTT read a notification from an app (the credit card) and then log the amount into a spreadsheet and then monzo will read that spreadsheet and move the amount to a set pot but I havent managed to find the instructions to get this set up.

If anyone can help outline what needs to be done or if there is a more obvious way to get my desired results using IFTTT then that would be great. I dont know if it helps that monzo now allows you to link the cards so you can view everything via the monzo app so i dont know if that may help with any configurations.

I figured I would ask as I have tried searching for some key words and it seems like people have done this but I just cant seem to find out how they set it up. Any help would be great.

Update the /r/ifttt logo!

Hello lovely r/ifttt moderators u/x3u u/Jayreddin u/IFTTT-Bot u/FlairYourPostBot! Would you be willing to update the subreddit logo and description?

The logo used today is from ~2016 era IFTTT and is no longer in use. Plus the description mentions IF and DO Applets, which are not available today.

Here's an optimized 256px by 256px logo (accordingly to Reddit) that should work great. Right click and save image to downloads:

256px by 256px

Plus, here is a suggested description to try. Feel free to adjust as you see fit!

IFTTT helps all your app and devices work better together.

What are Applets? Applets bring your services together to create remarkable, new experiences.

What are services? Services are the apps and devices you use every day. There are countless useful ways to connect services with Applets.

Save time and get more done with IFTTT's web, Apple, and Android apps.

I hope this is helpful. 🙌

How to get notification from a multireddit/custom feed when a post with certain keyword is posted?

Hi,
So im new to ifttt and im not very familiar with reddit search operators (nor reddit to such an extend).
Currently i did many applets for multiple subreddits so i get notified on discord but seems counter productive to have 1 applet for each individual subreddit and only now i discovered the custom feeds.

For now i've been doing like subreddit:x title:y to get exactly what i want from an specific subreddit but i want to do customfeed:x title:y but idk what is the search operator for multireddit/custom feed and im not having luck to find it. It is possible to do this?

Can I change my payment info while on legacy plan?

I'm on Legacy Pro+ 3.99 / month plan, and I was wondering, is it safe for me to switch to another payment card? I've heard some stories of legacy plan lost due to temporary payment issues, so I was afraid to change anything in the billing, but I might need to do that in the future.

Problem with the applet ‘Publish new videos as wordpress posts’

I am new here and I don't know what is the reason that the service doesn't want to work for me.

I would like new videos shown on the YouTube channel to be automatically created for blog posts in wordpress.

I don't know if this is the problem, but my site is built on wordpress and I don't have an account on ‘https://wordpress.com/’ but have my own site with this system.

Is there any additional configuration needed on the site with WordPress to make this work? Or is it just a combination of YouTube and wordpress account - I have that done.

I am receiving messages like this

End of football game email?

Looking for a unique end of football game email or text.

Here's my use case: I like to record football games on my DVR, but not to watch them until after the game is over and I can fast forward through the commercials. It takes a few minutes until after the game recording is over until the commercials are tagged and thumbnails added, which makes it easier to fast forward easily.

Many times I cannot rely on the scheduled end of the game to stop recording, since some games go into overtime, so I have the recording stop one hour after the end of the scheduled end of the game.

I'd like to know when the real end of the game is, so that I can stop the recording and allow the DVR to do its thing with commercials and thumbnails.

So what I'd like to do is create some type of email or text message to me saying "the end of the game is over now" and then I can manually stop the recording. If I rely on ESPN or such, they always show the score which would be a problem when I want to watch and not know until the end.

Any thoughts or ideas on how I can create something like this?

Can IFTTT stop an app after it has been idle for a certain number of minutes

I have a security DVR app that is total crap and stops working (but keeps running) whenever I switch to another app. So I have to force close it every single time I check the cameras.

I’d like to set up an IFTTT rule to force close the app whenever it has been put in the background, or even after 5 minutes of being idle or open.

Is this within the capabilities of IFTTT or does it even have the power to stop an app?

Change twitter url without Pro+ subscription

Hi all, the twitter to discord integration on the Pro plan is so very close to what I want, except I just want to change the URL from "twitter.com" to "fixupx.com" and it looks like that requires me to pay for the Pro+ plan to get access to filters?

I really don't need the full power of filters for this. Honestly I would love if the twitter integration just lets you choose what URL it sends as since this is probably a common use case.

And I'm also aware of how expensive the twitter API is, that's why I'm not asking for this to be free, but I am already a paying customer on the Pro subscription and I just want to make a tweak to the URL being sent.

Help: Posting Multiple RSS Feeds to Multiple FB Pages

I am looking to be able to auto-post RSS feed items from multiple websites to multiple facebook pages. That is, Website1-->FB-Page1, Website2-->FB-Page2, etc. Seems like the FB connection only allows one page per facebook account (all of these pages are under the same FB account). Also, it is unclear how to use the RSS applet more than once. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Location/Blink Cameras Works for a Few Days Then Stops Working

I have a Blink security camera system. I have several different Blink systems separated by location around my property. I have IFTTT applets to automatically arm certain Blink systems when I leave the area and disarm them when I return. The applets function as expected for a 2-3 days then all the sudden stops arming/disarming. If I go into IFTTT and modify the applet, it will start working again for a few days before it breaks again. I never get any notification that that applet failed even though I have it setup to do so. Please help as this is the sole reason for purchasing IFTTT and it's super annoying and leaves my home security vulnerable.

Virtual switch that works from Smart life

I added a virtual switch to smart life / tuya, but it doesn't show up when I try and create an IFTTT. I just need to trigger something in Smartthings from Tuya. I can go the other way, trigger something in Tuya from Smartthings.

Notification trigger not workig?

I have a notification trigger set for "Beacon Locator" it's an apk, is that possibly the reason ifttt isn't registering the notification? It's to basically tell my garage furnace to go to eco mode when I exit my garage if I forgot too. No permissions missing.

IFTTT Malware warning?

Hello ~
I've been using IFTTT for years, mostly for notifications about Rust (video game).

Today, my phone flagged it as a threat, saying it's "infected" with something called "Evo-gen." (Screenshots are in Danish)

I tried googling to see if there were any news articles or updates about this, but I couldn't find anything.

Is this just a false alarm, or should I be concerned? Has anyone else experienced this?

YoLink Water Level Sensor

I'm trying to configure the YoLink water level sensor (with the float). I can get IFTTT to trigger when the float is down (lower water level) but the reverse of this doesn't seem to trigger IFTTT. I'm using this for a pump so I need the inverse to shutoff the pump when the water level is topped off. Is there a bug with this?

Discord "Post a message to a channel" Channel Select Not Populating Server

I've followed all directions here:
https://help.ifttt.com/hc/en-us/articles/31091194724123-Troubleshooting-Discord-Servers-Not-Populating-When-Creating-an-Applet

and here:
https://help.ifttt.com/hc/en-us/articles/30302323958683-Discord-Applet-Troubleshooting

And it's still not finding the server in the dropdown.

Also for some reason it's trying to load EVERY SINGLE SERVER I'm a member of? And not just the one I connected the IFTTT bot/role to the Discord server?

I Want to Make an IFTTT Applet that Changes my Wallpaper Everyday But I Don't Know How

I've been going at this for roughly 2 hours now and I even asked ChatGPT which wasn't the best help and I'm starting to think it might not even be possible with IFTTT's limited wallpaper services. If anyone knows how to do it could you tell me please

Tiktok and its US ban

As IFTTT is based in SanFran, will this likely mean that their tiktok integration will not work after today?

Context: I'm not a US citizen so I wasn't fully following the development on the tiktok ban. I'm not aware of any intervention being made that would allow tiktok to still be used in the US though I think the ban is supposed to be from today (19 Jan)

Webhook to Telegram Chat

I know very little about programming but I would like to ask for help.

I have a software that send me a JSON payload with a lot of strings by webhook.

I need to create an automation, usingin IFTTT, that receives this JSON data and send, only the string called “best_plate_number, to a Telegram Chat.

Maybe a data filter will help me.

I tried a few times but only managed to send all the content of the JSON

IFTTT & Honeywell

I'd love to get feedback for anyone who has used a Honeywell T9 or T10 Wifi enabled Tstat successfully and satisfactorily with their mini split heat pump by using IFTTTT? I have a Midea mini split (Bosch badged) and I'd like to have a Tstat on the wall if I can. Midea has their own SmartHome app I mostly use now. Both Honeywell & SmartHome are supported on IFTTT. I for the most part want to use the Honeywell Tstat to control my mini split. If anyone has thoughts comments or suggestions so I can avoid any major issues it would be much appreciated. I'm happy to pay the $35 a year for IFTTT Pro if that's what it takes. Thank you!

Trying to get the "real feel" temperature?

I'm new to IFTTT and I'm trying to figure out a way to get the "real feel" temperature sent to my staff each day. I can see that I can use WU to get the temperature sent, but I don't see an option for the "real feel." Am I missing anything or is it just not a feature? I desperately need something that can do this!

Flic button > google sheets using IFTTT help

Please explain to me like I'm realllyy dumb. I'm not great at tech stuff and what I've tried so far hasn't worked.

I need to make a google sheet file to track the date, time, what click type and how many times it was pressed so I can do a tally of clicks per type and per day.

I'm using it to track my seizure types so it's really important I set this up 😭

I need to be able to filter the table of contents to show when and what has happened to show the statistics to my neurologist. Also make a graph of the table later on

Can anyone help me 😭

Filter Code for last entry in Google Sheet

I am trying to come up with filter code that will check the date/time the last row was added to a Google Sheet and if less than 5 minutes has passed skip the following actions. My trigger is a SwitchBot motion sensor, I am trying to limit the entries into the Sheet when motion is detected. I am struggling as I can't seem to figure out any way to debug the code. So I can lt figure out if the two date/times are in the same format. Is anyone able to provide some advice?
