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.”

Button Widgets No Longer Working

Upgraded to a new Samsung 24 Ultra phone and migrated everything over. I had "Do" buttons (widgets) set up to mute or unmute all sounds at a push of the button. This no longer works. I have even tried recreating the widgets but no joy. Running Android 14, BTW. Any help is appreciated!!!

IFTTT Keyboard Phillips Hue Switch

Hi!

I am very non technical with IFTTT and am a complete newbie. Just recently got a new keyboard that has good layer support and macro commands and wondered if there was a way that I could press a key on my keyboard and turn on and off my hue lights? Would be nice to not have to stand up or anything

Trigger for switch

I need help automating an eWelink switch when it’s snowing. Set IFTTT using weather underground to turn on the switch when tomorrows forecast calls for snow. Is there some way to then turn it off the next day if the weather no longer calls for snow?

I set 3 more triggers to turn the switch off if tomorrow calls for clear, cloudy, or rain. But feel like this is a clunky way of doing this.

Any help is much appreciated!

Use incoming email as a trigger?

Im trying to find a way to use an incoming specified email subject (from others) as a trigger to do stuff.

More specific: I have a wifi garage door which works thru Ewelink app (Sonoff switch) and I want my friend to have access to the garage door control just this one time, by having them sending me an email as a trigger. Is that possible?

Prence sensor (zy-m100) to ifttt

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out to seek assistance with connecting my Zy-M100 motion sensor to IFTTT. Despite my efforts, I've encountered some challenges, and I would greatly appreciate any insights or solutions from the community.

Here’s a brief overview of my setup:

  • I have successfully configured the Zy-M100 sensor using the Tuya Smart app.
  • I’ve linked my Tuya account to IFTTT, but unfortunately, the Zy-M100 sensor does not appear in the available devices on the IFTTT platform.
  • My goal is to use the motion detection feature of the Zy-M100 to trigger certain actions via IFTTT, such as sending an HTTP request to wake up a tablet running Fully Kiosk Browser.

I've explored the possibility of using Tuya’s API for custom solutions, but I would prefer a more straightforward integration with IFTTT, if possible.

Has anyone faced a similar issue or found a workaround to connect the Zy-M100 to IFTTT? Any tips, advice, or alternative solutions would be immensely helpful!

Thank you in advance for your support!

Using motion sensors and IFTTT to calculate usage

Hi all. I'd love some advice because I'm fairly inexperienced in this field. We have a client wanting to track how much the office booth they are buying is used. We want to create a quick and cheap prototype solution for them. Fron my research the set up I think I'll use is:

  1. Wyze Motion Sensor
  2. Wyze sense hub
  3. IFTTT
  4. Google sheet
  5. Google looker studio

I'd love any feedback or suggestions on these choices. I've chosen the wyze set up as it seems to have a long battery life and the sense hub is a fairly small looking unit.

Can I create an automation that checks for flight delays?

I commute between two airports flying standby for my job as an airline pilot.

I want to create an automation that checks if there are flights cancelled or significantly delayed only between two airports.

I’m new to iftt. Flight radar 24 doesn’t have an applet. Is there another way to do this?

Can IFTTT be used to connect devises that are on different WiFi networks, in different locations?

This might be a dumb question, forgive me. What I want to do is set up a Flic button in my home that would turn on a smart light in my friend's house. Is that possible?

Thanks.

Ifttt not starting up with phone

Hello I use IFTTT to trigger my home cameras on and off when I leave a quarter mile radius around my house. I have all of the background permission setup and the location set to beacon every 60 seconds. If I restart my phone the IFTTT app does not start with my phone. I have to manually open the app for the background service to begin. It used to start up with my phone

"Could not connect service" FIVERR

Hey! I've been trying to connect my Fiverr account to IFTTT recently, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. When I press "Connect," it redirects me to the Fiverr page to authorize the connection. After I authorize it, I'm taken back to IFTTT, but it shows a "Could not connect service" error. I've tried this on my phone, laptop, and PC, but no luck. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any solutions?

Sometimes takes hours to notice new RSS feed item trigger

I have an applet that looks for new items on an RSS feed and posts them to a Facebook page. I see that sometimes it takes hours to actually notice the new item and post. However, if I look in the activity log, there's no indication that the applet failed to run. I have checked the RSS feed (which was created specifically for IFTTT) and it is up to date, but for some reason IFTTT does not notice a new item to post until hours later.

Is there any way to set IFTTT to log every run of the applet and its results, to see if it is actually checking and just not finding anything new, versus not even checking at all? All I see in the activity logs are runs where it found something and ran the action, not every trigger check.

There also doesn't seem to be a "Check Now" option anymore to force it to run in these cases of missed runs. Is there any way to access this old action, like manually adding something to the URL to force the applet to check/run?

Can I make Waze open using IFTTT when my phone connects to the car's bluetooth?

Having probably picked up a speeding ticket this morning I realised Waze wasn't active on the phone and so I didn't get the alert there was a mobile camera in the area. Normally, if Waze is active, I hear the alerts through my hearing aids but not so this morning. Cue: 3 points and a £100 fine.

I'm a IFTTT novice; I've dabbled but not really made it work for me, but looking at it this morning I was wondering if there's a way to use it to force Waze to open when it connects to the car's Bluetooth?

(Please no 'just slow down' comments. I've had that from the missus all morning and we've all been there and done that at some point.)
