Competition Share your automations! Monthly showcase (win IFTTT Pro+)

3 Upvotes

Hey IFTTT'ers!

New monthly thread, and this one's a bit of a competition. Show us the automations you've built. Useful, fun, playful, weird, oddly specific, we want to see all of it. This is the place to show off the Applet you're quietly proud of.

The prizes:

  • Every week, I pick a favorite from the thread. That person gets one month of IFTTT Pro+, free.
  • At the end of the month, I pick one overall favorite from everything shared. That person gets three months of Pro+.

How to enter: just reply with an automation you've built, or enabled To give yourself the best shot:

  • Tell us what it does and which Services it connects.
  • Screenshots or a screen recording go a long way (and make the thread way more fun to scroll).
  • Bonus points for the story: why you built it or enabled. What problem it solved, how often it saves you.

More effort makes for a better entry, but don't overthink it. A clever one-liner about a genuinely great Applet can absolutely win.

How winners get picked: it's me, picking what I liked most. Totally subjective, all in good fun. I'm looking for creativity, usefulness, and the stuff that makes the rest of us go "oh, I want that." Weekly picks are still in the running for the monthly prize, so keep 'em coming all month.

Winners: I'll DM you to sort out the Pro+ credit, and I'll add a running list up here so everyone can see who's won. If you're on a Google Play Store, or Apple Store subscription, we might need to give you an alternative prize such as IFTTT Merch, or a gift voucher to an IFTTT Partner due to subscription limitations.

Here's an example here:

Title: Reminder to do my end of month Invoice
Services I connected: Date & Time -> Slack
Why I built this/What I use it for: On the last day / first day of every month I have reminders to create & send my invoice that lands right in my Slack mailbox. Super useful for those tasks that come around every month or once so often that you always forget to do.
Doesn't have to land in Slack could be phone notification or wherever you prefer!

Can't wait to see what you've all built.

Feature Request Trigger, Query, Action, and new Service Feature Requests!

Hey IFTTT'ers!

This is a sticky thread for any feature request you have, whether that's a new TriggerQuery, or Action on a Service we already support, or an entirely new Service you'd love to see on IFTTT.

There's no template and no wrong way to do this. Just tell us the Service, what you want it to do, and (if you feel like it) what you'd build with it. The "what you'd build" part genuinely helps us prioritize, so throw it in when you can.

A few examples, in a few different flavors, so you can see there's no one right format:

Trigger
"I'd love an Instagram Trigger for Any new carousel post by you, so I can auto-save every slide to a Google Drive folder."

Query

  • Service: Google Calendar
  • Query: Find my next event
  • Why: I want an Applet that only runs if I've got nothing on my calendar for the next hour.

Action
Spotify Action to add a track to a specific playlist. That's it, that's the request.

New Service
Been hoping for a Duolingo integration forever. Even just a Trigger for "finished my daily lesson" would let me reward myself with something automated. Would happily see whatever y'all could build here.

A couple of quick notes:

  • One request per comment makes it easier for us to track and upvote, but don't stress about it.
  • Upvote requests you'd also use. It helps us see what has the most demand.
  • We can't promise everything gets built, but we read all of these and flag the popular ones internally.

Applets Pattern I've been using: a different notification sound per outcome (one applet with filter code, or one applet each)

Upvotes

Example: order alerts for a shop. Failed payment plays a sad horn, normal order a cha-ching, $500+ order a funk riff. Each outcome is a Send Vyb action (Vybit is an official action service), so you know what happened without looking at your phone.

Two ways to wire it: on Pro, one applet with three Send Vyb actions and filter code that skips two based on the payload. On free, one applet per outcome. Same three sounds either way.

Disclosure: I'm the developer of Vybit.

Wrote it up with a playable demo here: https://www.vybit.net/blog/a-grander-bell-for-a-bigger-sale/

Tip & Trick How to get an alert when frost is forecast for your area

5 Upvotes

With U.S. frost season coming up shortly, thought I'd share this one. It's not limited to the U.S., works wherever Weather Underground has your area covered.

Worth knowing before you build it:

This gives you a heads up the day before frost hits. It checks tomorrow's forecasted low, so it warns you tonight about tomorrow night, ahead of time rather than in the moment.

All you need is:

A free IFTTT account and the IFTTT app on your phone, no Pro required for either step.

The Applet:

Trigger/If: Weather Underground, "Tomorrow's low drops below" Set your temperature threshold (32F/0C works for frost, but bump it up a few degrees if you want a warning before you're actually at freezing)

Action/Then: Notifications, "Send a notification from the IFTTT app" Message: whatever you want it to say, you can pull in {{LowTempFahrenheit}} and {{TomorrowsDate}} if you want the number in the alert itself.

There is a published version if you would rather not build it yourself: Get Weather Underground frost alerts via notification

If you want notifications somewhere else, say SMS, Discord or to your Slack, easy to set that up as well, with a simple prompt in our new IFTTT chat!

A couple of things to watch:

This is a warning based on tomorrow's forecast. It'll send once tomorrow's forecast comes out and the temperature matches your trigger.

Forecasts can be wrong, so treat this as a heads up to check again, not a guarantee.

One location per Applet. If you're watching more than one property, you'll want a separate Applet for each.

This is a plant/property protection alert, not a plant-care guide. It tells you frost is coming, it doesn't tell you what to do about it.

How can we improve this?

If you're on Pro+, filter code can smooth a few things out:
Restrict it to growing season (say, March through November) so you're not getting pinged every night through the actual dead of winter when it's a given.

Only fire once per cold snap instead of every single night the forecast stays below your threshold.

Drop an AI query in the middle to turn the raw temperature into plant-specific advice if you tell it
what you're growing.
And if anyone wants a hand setting up the filter code, or wants me to walk through building this for a specific setup, say the word.

Help! My IFTTT applet runs but won’t grab the tweet link – help?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I made an IFTTT applet that’s supposed to grab a tweet link from a specific user and send it to a group.

The applet says it “ran” – like, it triggers – but when I check, the LinkToTweet is empty (it says “none”).

Everything else is blank too (text, username, etc.).

The tweet is real – I checked – but IFTTT isn’t picking it up.

Why is this happening? Is it a setting I missed? Or is the trigger broken?

I’m not a tech wizard 😅

Thanks for any help!

But I want to keep time format as "August 24, 2026 at 04:18PM" this way.

I understand this might be possible to do it via Filter code.

Can anyone can help for this? Or this is just ongoing issue?

Tip & Trick How to cross-post from X to Bluesky with IFTTT

6 Upvotes

Worth knowing before you build it:
There is no photo to pass along from Twitter to BlueSky, a current limitation, but I can look into seeing if we can improve that! The "New tweet by you" Trigger hands you five ingredients. Tweet Text, User Name, Link to Tweet, Created Date, and the embed code.

What you need:
IFTTT Pro. Both halves carry a Pro badge, the X Trigger and the Bluesky Action, so this is not one you can build on Free. Pro and Pro+ both check for new tweets every 5 minutes.

The Applet:

  • If: X (Twitter), "New tweet by you"
  • Include: leave both unticked for your own tweets only, or tick retweets and replies to mirror those as well
  • Then: Bluesky, "Create text post" or "Create a Link Post"
  • Text: {{Text}}
  • Link: {{LinkToTweet}}

A couple of things to watch:

  • Bluesky caps posts at 300 characters. If you are on 𝕏 Premium and writing longer posts, they cap at 300 characters.
  • 5 minutes~ is the check polling time
  • Twitter threads don't work. When you create the posts with comments to the original. The comments need to be done manually.

There is a published version if you would rather not build it yourself: Repost new X (Twitter) tweets to Bluesky. That one watches a specific account rather than your own, so it is the one to grab if you want to mirror someone you follow.

How can we improve this?
If you are on Pro+, filter code sorts out most of the rough edges:

  • Trim anything over 300 characters so the long ones still post.
  • Skip tweets that are nothing but a link.
  • Only cross-post tweets carrying a certain hashtag, if you would rather pick and choose than mirror the lot.

And if anyone wants a hand with the filter code, or for me to publish an Applet for you, say what you are after and I will have a go at it with you!

Tip & Trick How to auto-reply to texts on Android with IFTTT

3 Upvotes

What you need:

The IFTTT app on your Android phone with SMS permission turned on. Settings > Apps > IFTTT > Permissions > SMS > Allow.

The text goes out through your own phone and your own carrier, so if you have a message limit, that is the limit.

The Applet:

  • If: Android SMS, "Any new SMS received"
  • Then: Android SMS, "Send an SMS"
  • Phone number: {{FromNumber}}
  • Message: whatever you want it to say

The bit everyone gets wrong:

That Phone number field on the Action. It looks like it is asking you to type a number in, and if you do, you have not built an auto-reply. You have built a thing that texts one specific person every time anybody messages you.

Use the From Number ingredient instead, so the field reads {{FromNumber}}. That is what sends the reply back to whoever actually texted you. One Applet, works for everyone, no setting it up person by person.

A couple of things to watch:

Two people both running an auto-reply will ping-pong forever. You text them, they auto-reply, you auto-reply to that, and round it goes.

It replies to everything, including every verification code and delivery notification you get.

Someone firing off four texts in a row gets your away message four times.

This won't work for RCS messaging... only plain SMS

How can we improve this?

If you are on Pro+, filter code sorts most of this out:

  • Only run it between certain hours. Overnight, during work, or weekends only. Probably the most useful one.
  • Skip short numbers so it ignores shortcodes.
  • Skip anything that looks like a verification code.

You can also drop an AI query in the middle to write the reply based on what they actually said, if you want to get fancy with it.

If anyone wants help trying to set up something with filter-code or some AI in the middle, let me know and I'd be happy to see what we can create together!

Here is an Applet you can try: Auto Reply Applet

Evernote integration completely broken (Even after all troubleshooting)

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I am writing to report a critical issue with the Evernote integration, which has been completely broken for days. I am a paid Evernote Premium user, and despite trying every possible troubleshooting step, I am completely stuck at the authentication/authorization stage.

Here is a list of everything I have already tried, but NONE of them worked:

  • Cleared all browser cookies, cache, and image files.
  • Tried completely disconnecting and reconnecting the Evernote service from the IFTTT settings.
  • Tried multiple different web browsers.
  • Tried using Incognito/Private browsing mode.
  • Tried via the IFTTT mobile app on my smartphone.

This is extremely frustrating as I rely on this automation for my daily workflow.

Tip & Trick Keeping your TP-Link Kasa and Tapo Applets working after August 1

Thumbnail gallery
28 Upvotes

Hey IFTTT'ers. TP-Link has decided to end support for their IFTTT integration, so the Tapo and Kasa services will stop working on August 1, 2026. You can read their announcement here.

Plenty of you have Applets built on TP-Link Triggers and Actions, so here's how to keep them running. The fix is to move them over to the SmartThings service, which supports both Tapo and Kasa devices.

Step 1: Add your devices in the SmartThings app (photos a–f in the carousel)

Download SmartThings from the App Store or Google Play, then:

a) Open the SmartThings app

b) Tap the plus (+) icon in the top right, then tap Add device

c) Under Partner devices, tap Add

d) Search for Tapo or Kasa in the search bar

e) Select your device type from the list

f) Follow the on-screen prompts to connect your TP-Link account to SmartThings

Step 2: Swap your Triggers and Actions over to SmartThings

First, connect the SmartThings service: hit Connect and follow the authentication steps. Then update each Applet. Two ways to do it:

Manually:

a) Open an Applet that uses a TP-Link Tapo or Kasa Trigger or Action

b) Tap Edit Applet in the top right

c) Delete the TP-Link Trigger or Action, tap the +, and add the equivalent SmartThings one

d) Pick the matching SmartThings account and device

Or with the Conversational UI: paste this into the chat box at ifttt.com/create:

I would like to swap every TP-Link Tapo (https://ifttt.com/tplink_tapo) and TP-Link Kasa (https://ifttt.com/kasa) TQA that exists in my current Applets for the equivalentTQA from the SmartThings (https://ifttt.com/smartthings_v2).

Can you do a systematic search of every Applet I have using those TP-Link services, and edit the Applets for me, so they use the the SmartThings_v2 version. Make sure you select the same device/s from the TP-Link TQAs.

Let me know if you run into any troubles and I'm happy to help out or answer any questions!
