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.”

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?

Getting an email every time I receive a message from a specific sender. Possible with IFTTT?

I'm new here so I wonder if such requirement is possible using IFTTT:

  • I have multiple instant messaging accounts including Whatsapp, telegram, wechat, etc;

  • They're on multiple phones;

  • I need to watch once someone sends me a message. So there will be a watching list of certain important contacts.

  • I have no time tracking all those notifications across many phones.

So I'd like to apply a mechanism that works like my "notification hub" so that I won't miss the ones that sent by certain contacts.

Is this possible using IFTTT?

Call certain number when certain email subject is received

How can I achieve the following with IFTTT or anything else?

IF email_SUBJECT contains 'Order' AND email_FROM contains 'MyOrderEmail_address'

THEN

VOICE_CALL my store at US#304.xxx.xx

(so staff knows there is an order)
Any links/pointers are appreciated.

I can forward existing email from gmail, or send direct to IFTTT friendly address, which I can't figure out if one is associated with my account.

Total newb to IFTTT and Reddit, be gentle.

Paid for IFTTT pro as I plan to utilize it once I get the hang of it.

Need Help Setting Up Triggers Directly to WearOS sensors

Every time I take a shower I leave my watch on the sink and often forget to put it back on. Ideally, I’d love for the watch to detect when it’s not being worn and not on the charger for a certain amount of time, then send me a notification or make the watch ring to remind me.

The problem is that all the triggers I’ve found so far are tied to the phone (e.g., phone-based automations), but I want something that triggers based on watch sensors.

Is there any way around this? I’d appreciate any advice or tips!

Discord sending a gif makes an IFTTT URL which doesn't show the gif.

Trying to send an automated message using a gif from Discord. Grabbing the URL of the gif and having IFTTT send that message with the GIF URL. My expectation is that Discord should automatically show the gif and not just the URL. But instead Discord does not show the gif at all.

How to make it so IFTTT can post a gif on Discord please? Thanks

Noob with automations

My 2nd floor bedroom is cooler than the rest of the house so when my ecobee calls for heat, I want my oscillating fan (into smart plug) to turn on for the duration of the heating event.

I am struggling to figure out if this would even be possible.

Options to reduce the polling time for twitter

I read on the documentation that the twitter polling check is every 5 min - I can sometimes see the message output is posted 10min after

  1. I have the Pro subscription, if I move to the Pro+ subscription - will that reduce this polling check time?

  2. If I implement the real time thing, do I need to enter my own twitter credentials requiring a twitter developer subscription? Will the basic at $100/month be sufficient? (I basically need "when some accounts posts this, send a message there")

Any help appreciated!

Starting Dec 10 My auto posts Using Unicode are broken (mobile web)

I use an ifttt.com integration to republish my Wordpress posts to the r/dailySutta sub (I own the sub). Prior to Dec 10 all worked fine.

You can see an example of a post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dailySutta/comments/1h9xfsb/sn_417_chaphass%C4%81yatanasutta_six_bases_for_contact/

Notice how the first line of text in the post, SN 4.17 Chaphassāyatanasutta: Six Bases for Contact matches the post title perfectly. Specifically, see the "ā" unicode character.

But then starting the next day with this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/dailySutta/comments/1hap9ip/sn_357_ajjhatt%C4%81nicc%C4%81t%C4%ABt%C4%81n%C4%81gatasutta_the_interior/

You can see that the this is the first line of thee post:

SN 35.7 Ajjhattāniccātītānāgatasutta: The Interior as Impermanent in the Three Times

When it should be identical to the title:

SN 35.7 Ajjhattāniccātītānāgatasutta: The Interior as Impermanent in the Three Times

So it appears that the text is no longer being treated as UTF-8 and is instead being read as ISO-8859-1.

I made absolutely no changes in anything to cause this problem. It appears I am not the only one with this issue.

u/ifttt-team do you know what is going on with this? I am using a WP to Reddit integration (i.e. not doing it with the RSS feed). I also have a WP to FB integration and the unicode is working fine there.

Issues with Make.com webhook URL in IFTTT action module

Hello I'm having issues connecting make.com webhook URL to your webhook service. The trigger is when a tweet goes out, I want it to send the data to a make.com webhook URL. I keep getting this error msg when the trigger runs

https://preview.redd.it/0717xa1zlkae1.jpg?width=1558&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=895b75849697ec48ced4fa91bf6c16707116c3a4

Below is how I set up the action part of it. I'm I missing something? My make.com is set to receive data when data arrives but keep getting error above. I have never had issues with a webhook from make on any other platform

No triggers to choose from in Google Assistant

Greetings,

My frist try here. I want to open my garage door, with gogogate2, by triggering it with "open garage door" with Google Assistant. I thought I was supposed to choose from a list of trigger options after choosing GA, but the only choices I have is "suggest new trigger" (which doesn't do anything for me) and "activate scene", which I haven't got to work either. These are the two options. I was under the impression that I could choose "simple frasing" or something similar. I know gogogate2 is working, because it worked when I tried it with "one button" widget.

Thanks for any help!

IFTTT Streamerbot connection is not working.

I am currently trying to get IFTTT to turn on/off my light if i press a button on my Elgato Stream Deck. This is what i did so far:

The button configuration in the Stream Deck program

Connected to Stream Deck: Check!

Connected to Discord: Check!

Action and Sub-Action

https://preview.redd.it/c2tvcdwem3ae1.png?width=975&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb0093ac1469910d336b856cc361bcd51312f01f

IFTTT is connected to Streamerbot (via Discord): i hope?

Event name looks the same to me...

I tried switching my lights via IFTTT before and it worked fine.

I watched the following video: https://youtu.be/kN2TVdIqDmE?si=FfkKzaTOjwvENDTu

They did nearly the same thing (just not for a lamp, but i am pretty sure that´s not the problem) and it seemed to work.
