The semi-official subreddit for the popular automation service IFTTT.
Available for iOS and Android!
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.”
If you are working for IFTTT and want to be recognized, please send a message to the mod team and we will work together to give you a flair.

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.
can anybody help me with this? my modem(rt-ac88U) is supposed to support IFTTT right?
Hello everyone, I have a constant problem with recipes turning off for no reason, also, has anyone found any other way to access the IFTTT dashboard without the native web interface?
I'm new to IFTTT and I'm wondering about using it for international travel and 2FA when I receive an SMS. I will have a simcard in from a different country and not the one connected to the number receiving the SMS. I want the SMS to get automatically converted to an email and sent to me. Last time I traveled outside the country this was a massive b*tch. I kept having to disable cellular data so as not to rack up huge fees, then swap SIM cards over and over again from all the 2FA services. I just want to get SMS from my home number as emails... If IFTTT is good for this, is this a paid service?
For the US Election night (based the UK), is there anyway I can get the hue lights to change (perhaps for a few seconds) to either red or blue depending on the result of each state as it’s announced?
I tried looking on IFTTT, but it only has options for generic news.
Cheers!
Hi there. As I say in the title, I'm interested in making a way to have automatically my phone send an SMS to different clients, 1 day before our appointment as reminder.
I have found a way to partially do that. I connect Google Calendar and Android SMS. When I fill the mobile number when making the appointment (as an event on Google Calendar), it triggers and then SMS can be sent to that filled mobile number.
But this is sent instantly, as the applet is triggered. Is there any other way to make it send it 1 day before the scheduled appointment (event of Google Calendar)?
Hi
Is there any functionality for threads ?
I have an applet that, if a Wyze light turns off, IFTTT sends me a text. It has worked for a long time. Went from a Pixel 6 pro to a Pixel 9 pro and I no longer get the SMS.
Log says the applet ran and the SMS was sent. But nothing on the phone. Is there a way to test this in stages? Just have IFTTT send an SMS? That seems to be where the problem is. I should ad it has filter code to run between 21:00 and 01:00: let currentHour = Meta.currentUserTime.hour();
if (currentHour >= 21 || currentHour < 1) { // run the action } else { AndroidMessages.sendAMessage.skip(); }
Ideas?
For example, I want to be notified whenever a post contains “google ads”, but it’s pulling too many posts because so many links contain URL parameters like utm_source=google_ads
Any way to avoid this? It seems like it’s a part of Reddit’s search function.
Is there any way for IFTTT to comment on a post from my account when it meets the filtering actions that I created beforehand?
I was wondering, I have started a new youtube channel and would like to use IFTTT to automatically post new videos to my subreddit. Is this possible at all ?
Hi there. Has someone figured out a way to control the light in a Ring Flood/Cam? I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Ring light when IFTTT detects that the patio string lights (TP-link/KASA outlet) are turned on. I can cut the power to the whole Ring Cam but trying to avoid having to do that.
I am using IFTTT "RSS to Buffer" applet. The idea is to automatically schedule instagram posts.
Does anyone know if it's possible to send more than 1 image in the same item?
in the "ingredients" section explaining the details of how the feed should look like it says
"Entry image URL - URL for the first image in the entry. If the entry doesn't have an image will point to a placeholder image."
It says "First image" so I assume I could send more than one. But doesn't seem to work.
Anyone has figured this one out?
I have 2 applets set so when I reach a location, they send a text. One works on time, as intended to when the recipient is the android user, but the one I have for sending to an iPhone user, the applet doesn't run, or if it does it's late and the recipient doesn't get the text. Even though I can see it sent from my phone. Is there something I'm not doing correctly? As far as I know the settings for both applets are the same. I apologize if this has been talked about somewhere else.
Has anyone successfully connected to the Oticon IFTTT service? I keep getting Can't Connect. I created my Oticon account using the Companion App as suggested.
Other IFTTT services work well for me.
I have an applet set to arm the security cameras at my house when the last person leaves. This works great apart from in one situation, that is when all group members leave at the same time (I guess in this situation there was actual no last person leaving the area as everyone left together).
Is there anyway to handle the situation where everyone leaves at the same time and trigger the applet?
Thanks
I'm developing a service integration so that I can connect my Threads account and post content there
I've already built a simple API with NodeJS which will handle the authentication process and also the request to create a new post for the current logged in user
My question is: what's the correct option here? I need help from someone who've built a custom service integration on IFTTT before
Was wondering what the best plan was capable of in the users experience? What type of return action times ? What ai processing text does it have like in a personal workflow .
Can't really tell from the marketing but my regular premium pro plan is completely unreliable for real time work flows
I was looking for the Threads API integration, but it seems that it's not supported yet in IFTTT. So I though as a developer maybe I could implement that service. Do you know if this is possible?
I've configured a Tumblr specific "then". The output however, has zero images. The same "if" points to FB and Buffer, error free. Help is appreciated.
On IFTTT ...
The output on Tumblr ...
Recently (6 months or so) the automation that saves discover weekly songs to a designated playlist has stopped being reliable. Some songs just don’t get picked up by the ifttt api and so don’t get added. Frustrating having to remember now to go through discover weekly and add missing songs manually.
I suspect it may be due to a data race condition related issue, where the applet is running while the list is being updated but not sure.
Has anyone else had this issue and if so, how have you been able to solve it?
Hey!
I've developed a presence simulation system using IFTTT to make my home look occupied when I'm away. I'd love to get your feedback and suggestions for improvement. This is with a PRO+ account.
What it does:
Architecture:
+------------------------+
| Main Applet |
| (Random Activation) |
+------------------------+
| - Checks time/occupancy|
| - Selects random light |
| - Chooses random delay |
+----------+-------------+
|
| Triggers
v
+------------------------+
| Turn On Webhooks |
| (5, 10, 15 min delays) |
+------------------------+
| 1. turn_on_hue_5 |
| 2. turn_on_hue_10 |
| 3. turn_on_hue_15 |
+----------+-------------+
|
| Activates
v
+------------------------+
| Turn On Applets |
+------------------------+
| - Turns on light |
| - Selects random |
| turn-off webhook |
+----------+-------------+
|
| Triggers
v
+------------------------+
| Turn Off Webhooks |
| (5, 10, 15 min delays) |
+------------------------+
| 1. turn_off_hue_5 |
| 2. turn_off_hue_10 |
| 3. turn_off_hue_15 |
+----------+-------------+
|
| Activates after delay
v
+------------------------+
| Turn Off Applets |
+------------------------+
| - Turns off light |
+------------------------+
Here's a snippet of the filter code for the Turn On Applet:
// Parse incoming JSON data
let data = JSON.parse(MakerWebhooks.jsonEvent);
let lightId = data.value1;
// Turn on the light
Hue.turnOnAllHue.setLights(lightId);
// Define turn-off webhook URLs
const turnOffWebhookUrls = [
'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/turn_off_hue_5/json/with/key/your_key_here',
'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/turn_off_hue_10/json/with/key/your_key_here',
'https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/turn_off_hue_15/json/with/key/your_key_here'
];
// Randomly select a turn-off webhook
const selectedTurnOffWebhookUrl = turnOffWebhookUrls[Math.floor(Math.random() * turnOffWebhookUrls.length)];
// Call the selected turn-off webhook
MakerWebhooks.makeWebRequest.setUrl(selectedTurnOffWebhookUrl);
MakerWebhooks.makeWebRequest.setMethod("POST");
MakerWebhooks.makeWebRequest.setContentType("application/json");
MakerWebhooks.makeWebRequest.setBody(JSON.stringify({ "value1": lightId }));
I'm particularly interested in feedback on:
Thanks in advance for your input!
Is there a service to allow start/stop the device's Bluetooth when a condition is meet?
Does this really happen? I have a humidity check that turns a Kasa switch on, connected to a dehumidifier. The check so far has occured once today. It shoud be turning on and off every hour or so.
