IFTTT

Getting started with IFTTT

We built the IFTTT modules to give you even more flexibility with your automations by letting you exchange data between a scenario on Integromat and an applet on IFTTT.

Currently, the following modules are available:

Trigger: Receive data from an applet

Action: Send data to an applet

The above modules also allow you to connect and control arbitrary IoT devices connected to IFTTT.

Receive data

Using the Receive data module, you can get data from an arbitrary trigger in the IFTTT applet. Follow the steps below to achieve this:

Step 1: Create a new applet on IFTTT or go to an existing one that contains the trigger from which you'd like to send data to Integromat

Insert the action Webhook - Make a web request. The applet should look like: If Your trigger then Webhook - Make a web request

Step 2: Create a new scenario on Integromat using IFTTT - Receive data as the first module

Click the 'Add' button to create a new webhook

Name your webhook and click Save
Copy the newly generated webhook URL and let the webhook wait to receive sample data

Step 3: Go to IFTTT and in the settings of the Webhook - Make a web request action fill in the following values:

URL: Paste the webhook URL obtained from Integromat in the previous step

Method: POST

Content Type: application/json

Body: JSON with data you want to send to Integromat

Example JSON:


{
    "Value1Label": "{{Value1}}",
    "Value2Label": "{{Value2}}"
}

The JSON can contain an arbitrary amount of values. Value1Label is a label how the value will be presented in Integromat. {{Value1}} is an ingredient from the IFTTT trigger.

Turn your IFTTT applet on and run it once. This will send sample data to the Integromat webhook which had been listening for data
Once the webhook receives the sample data, click 'OK' to continue and use the data received from IFTTT in subsequent modules of your Integromat scenario.

Complete your scenario in Integromat and turn it on.

Send data

Follow the steps below to send data from Integromat to a trigger in an IFTTT applet and run any IFTTT action using the Send data module:

Step 1: Create a new applet on the IFTTT Platform (https://platform.ifttt.com/)

Use Webhooks - Receive a web request as the trigger for your applet

Scroll below to enter an event name which you will need to enter when setting up the module on Integromat

Insert the action you want to control from Integromat. The applet should look like: If Webhooks - Receive a web request then Your action

Activate your applet.

Step 2: Go to Integromat and insert the module IFTTT - Send data to your scenario that shall send data to IFTTT

Go to https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks, click 'Documentation' on the upper-right corner and copy your key from the documentation page
Click 'Add' next to the Connection drop-down to create a new connection between Integromat and IFTTT. You will be requested to fill in the key obtained in the last step

Enter the event name that you had entered when creating the applet on IFTTT
Lastly, map the data in the fields Value1, Value2, and Value3. These values will be sent to IFTTT

Once your scenario setup on Integromat is complete, make sure you save it and turn it on to begin sending data to your newly created IFTTT applet. Now you can use this data in subsequent actions in your applet to achieve the intended integration!
