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.”

Twitter post to Discord

Hi! If an account I'm watching retweets something, is there a way to grab the original link to tweet (instead of the retweet link)? The reason I ask is because for some reason Discord no longer embeds images from RTs, so I keep having to open the link and then grab the original tweet link.

"Reddit New Post From Search" is wildly inaccurate. Can someone help me out?

I for the life of me cannot get the right syntax for this to work the way I want. The way I want being:

title:title subreddit:subreddit keyword OR keyword OR keyword

Title and subreddit work correctly. I can not get the OR statements to work. I’ve tried different combinations of parenthesis, quotations, and using the selftext filter to no avail. It’s just alerting on damn near everything. Often with zero of the words I’ve included.

Can someone help a brother ou?

Setting Up Notifications For My Server

I’m trying to set up notifications on my Emby sever, I am receiving the email from IFTTT with the time, date, trigger name etc. that I set up but no data from Emby (as requested)

On Emby I can select multi part/form-data or application/Json

I’ve tried both and gotten the same result.

I am an amateur in IFTTT, just started to dig into this today. Any advice would be appreciated.

app not even letting me have my 2 free applets

I wanted to switch one of my applets so I turned one of my two off to turn another one on and when I try to turn it on, it just takes me to the page to do a free trial for Pro, am I just stuck now and forced to do the free trial to even let it connect one of my free two again?? This is incredibly frustrating.

Clickup and Discord Integration Issue: Inability to Use ‘TaskName’ Tag in Update Task Action

I’m encountering a problem.

I need to retrieve the TaskName to post a message in Discord, updating our team about general task updates. However, the Discord action “Post a rich message to a channel” doesn’t seem to recognize TaskName. Here’s my description:

Embed Description: ID: {{TaskId}} 

Link: http://app.clickup.com/t/{{TaskId}}

Status changed from {{OldValue}} to {{NewValue}} 

Task from: {{UserName}}

When I try to use {{TaskName}}, the system returns that the tag doesn’t exist. This is strange because if I use the action “Send Discord messages for new tasks in ClickUp” for a new task, the tag exists. See below:

Embed Description: {{TaskName}}

Description: {{Description}}

Status: {{StatusName}}

Created: {{DateCreated}}

So, why does TaskName exist in New Task, but we can’t use the TaskName tag in Update Task?

I’ve tried using another action like the Webhook action, but the same problem occurs.
Could anyone assist me in solving this problem?

Sending an email to another address when A G-calendar event is added

Does anyone know if this should work properly?, I triggered the event hours ago, still showing as never run

https://preview.redd.it/tu61tilug6wc1.png?width=1077&format=png&auto=webp&s=297ae8e7a43edd17b8c08b45671946148ea2d666

I am unsure if the issue is the settings I have for the address, as I have configured the address to be the same title as the Google Calendar event (which is set to be an email, the event itself is created by Zapier from Google Sheets)

https://preview.redd.it/8ie29884h6wc1.png?width=551&format=png&auto=webp&s=ea9478ad05c1e761de5bb8d3318be9da61ad11b6

Does anyone have any suggestions?, I would hate to have to use Zapier for this

With ifttt: How to create a Todoist task from a Telegram message and link each other by URL

Normally we work by creating topics on Telegram groups. Quite often we want to create a task after a discussion or decision in Todoist.

Then we link the latest Telegram message to the Todoist.

We do it manually by doing this:

TELEGRAM: Right click to a message on Telegram - Copy Message Link:

https://preview.redd.it/hzot5znhjfvc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=172b37213c6aa2c8c4f1eabca78977d74beebc3e

TODOIST: Create task - Open the task - Click the 3 dots - Copy link to task:

https://preview.redd.it/rlhezf6jjfvc1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=569a41a3e0ee2fc4921532bb252e04f7f855edab

How could we create a task in Todoist from Telegram and link each other in both directions? For example, if we write on Telegram:

/bot-c-todoist Example task

That message would trigger an automation that creates a task with name "Example task" in Todoist and would include a link to the Telegram message "/bot-c-todoist Example task"

Also, a new message would be in Telegram that could be something like:

Task created in todoist with name: "Example task". URL to the task: https://app.todoist.com/app/task/example-task-74567641094

Is there any way to do something like that with ifttt or another solution?

It's just gotten really bad lately

Ever since they cut down the app count from 4 to 2 and started forcing a Pro membership for basic things like webhooks, it's been getting unreasonable to a point where I can't afford to keep paying for software which had been running free for years before this point.

Skip during time period?

I want to get a phone call in the middle of the night if motion is detected by my ring camera between 11 PM and 5 AM. I’ve tested it, and it works, unless I have this filter in. When the filter is in, it won’t work at all. Help?

let currentHour = Meta.currentUserTime.hour();

if (currentHour < 5 || currentHour >= 23) { PhoneCall.callMyPhone.skip(It's ${currentHour}, only running between 5am and 11pm); // You can pass a message to skip() and it will be recorded in the Applet's // activity feed when an action is skipped. This is useful for debugging. }

If Government Alert then Hue Light…

I would like to be able to have my Hue lights temporarily run a scene or blink or some combination of the two if I specifically receive a Government Alert (Amber, Emergency, Public Safety, etc.) in iOS (or OS X). Any help would be appreciated. Received a tornado warning a couple of days ago and I think any additional warning is probably a good thing. For my neighbors and myself.

Applets (randomly?) stop working

I use a few applets as a Pro user - I.e. "goodreads" rss to "day one" started to use it early march - didn't change anything in between and stopped working with March 24 ("There was a problem with the trigger.")

Strava to day one, etc. doesnt seem to track any Indoor cycling activities. altough it should get a trigger by "any activity".

Also my Spotify to Day One (If new saved track, then create journal entry) stopped working yesterday - > "There was a problem with the trigger."

i'm using ifttt's service for a month+ now and it seems to be very unreliable. Is this a regular thing or am i doing something wrong?

Alarm based on Outlook Notification

I have a work iPhone. Not my personal choice. I know on Android there's an app that can read my notifications and play an alarm that I then have to turn off if it catches specific information.

I'm in an on-call rotation. I want something to look at my Outlook notifications (has to be Outlook) and if the email subject contains (P1) or (Urgent) to play an alarm that will not stop until I react to it. The purpose of this is to wake me up if a critical ticket comes in that has to be addressed.

It was suggested I look at ITTT, so I downloaded it and set up the free trial, but I can't seem to set Outlook as a trigger? It's just not there under Services. I can "connect" to other peoples outlook recipes, but that seems to require logging in with my work email which security restrictions prevent me from doing.

Does anyone have suggestions or alternatives?

How to limit the length of a caption when sharing from YouTube to Discord???

When sharing new YouTube videos, the caption includes ALL of the description... I would like to have it cut off after a specified character count. Otherwise, it shares all the credits and keywords and everything from the description. I need it to cut off after 250 characters or so.

Applet for turning lights on when arriving home after dark

So, I'm trying to figure out how to turn on certain lights when I arrive home after dark. I was able to get the applet to turn on the lights, but they come on at all hours, and they come on both when I'm arriving home and also when I'm leaving home.

Can anyone help me write the correct script that will tell the lights to come on only between 7pm and 5am and only when I'm returning home, not when I'm leaving? I used to be able to do this with just my Alexa app, but then it just stopped working for no discernible reason.

YouTube to Discord Applets Stopped Working

We have been using IFTTT for several months to send messages to a specific channel on our Discord server when it is triggered by specific events in our YouTube channel.

As of this morning, 2 of our 3 applets have stopped working:

  1. New Super Chat message - This trigger fires when there is a new Super Chat message in a live chat during a live stream on your channel.

  2. New Super Sticker - This trigger fires when there is a new Super Sticker in a live chat during a live stream on your channel.

The only one that still works is:

  1. If New Public Video uploaded, then post a message to a channel

I am not able to recreate the applet. The error message I get is:

Failed to validate, please try again

I haven't changed anything on our end.

I have disconnected the YouTube channel from IFTTT (both from IFTTT and YouTube) and tried to recreate the applet, but it's still not working.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

IFTTT UK Legal Action

Is there anybody in the UK that would be interested in pursuing legal action against IFTTT? I am awaiting some legal consumer advice and it may be better to pool resources if any action us to be taken.

My grievances are that they have broken a pricing agreement and over-charged me for services without sufficient prior notification (and refused a refund).

I'd like an expression of interest below and then I will look to how we can formalise collective legal action if there is enough interest. Either way I will pursue IFTTT myself.

Uploading files to Google Drive from URL including user-agent ?

I have long used the "Upload file to Google Drive from URL" command to scrape security camera frames to create time lapses. I link it with webhooks to do the scheduling. Each file is named with a timestamp.

However, a particular server has ceased serving files because they now refuse requests that don't have the 'user-agent' header (the metadata that tells the http server what 'browser' is requesting the file.

My question is: How can I continue to use IFTTT to do this when the "Upload file to Google Drive" command appears to be simplistic and unable to attach this required switch?
