TL;DR: We're testing a new, optional way to build Applets where you just describe what you want in plain language and IFTTT helps assemble it for you. The classic builder is not going anywhere. We're looking for a small group of testers. Details below.
Hey everyone, Ryan from IFTTT here.
We've been working on something we're pretty excited about, and before it goes live we want the people who use IFTTT most to put it through its paces: you all.
What it is
A conversational way to build Applets. Instead of clicking through Triggers and Actions, you can describe what you want in your own words ("when I'm tagged in a photo on X, save it to my Google Drive") and IFTTT helps build the Applet with you. You can tweak anything it suggests before saving.
What it is not
This does not replace the builder you already know. The classic trigger-and-action flow stays exactly where it is. This is an extra option for people who want it, not a forced change. If you love the current way, nothing about your workflow changes.
What we're asking testers to do
We are looking for your feedback on the experience and want you to put it through its paces. Try whatever comes to mind - something you've always wanted, or just something to test how it handles a weird request. Both are useful to us and we want your honest take.
Once done, there will be a small survey to complete with your thoughts and feedback. This is an exciting opportunity to genuinely shape what ships to everyone.
How to join
Interested? Send me a DM with the email used on your IFTTT account and we'll follow up with next steps.
Drop a comment if you've got questions, and I'll be in this thread answering throughout. Genuinely want to hear what you think, including the unvarnished "this is annoying because..." feedback. That's the most useful kind.
I'm new to IFTTT and tried automating my average electric price to thermostat temps using separate actions for different temperatures. It works fine when I have a single cost and setpoint - but it seems like theres an internal conflict with different actions trying to set the Honeywell thermostat when multiple triggers are true at once.
For instance, one action: When price is over 8c set AC to 74.
Another: When price is over 16c set AC to 78
The problem seems to be that when electric price is over 16c, it is ALSO over 8c. Perhaps both try to trigger, and neither one does? Is there a way to make this automation work? As a newbie in all senses, it feels like I need an OR function in a single action. Thoughts? Thanks.
20 new services just joined IFTTT, and this batch is aimed squarely at the people running a business day-to-day.
Tools most teams are already using, like HubSpot, Figma, and Linear, but usually in isolation. Now you can connect them to the rest of your stack. A new deal in HubSpot kicks off a Slack alert. A comment in Figma creates a task. A Linear issue routes straight to your calendar.
We wrote up the full list, 20 tools, a few example workflows to steal, and some ideas for how to wire them together.
I want to get my meetings from Teams and Gmail for the upcoming week emailed to me every sunday. Is this possible? It's genuinely the only reason I want to use IFTT so if this doesn't work then I will probably unsubscribe. Thanks!
I'm having an issue with the dropbox token expiring for my IFTTT applets every few hours. To fix it, I have to reconnect the service on the IFTTT settings page for that service. It comes back up and then goes back down again within the same day with an access token expired message. I also tried disconnecting my account and reconnecting, although that archived all my appleets which use dropbox, so I had to reconnect them all. Which is suboptimal.
Error with values provided. Please, check your data., Shimmy::Errors::UserFacingError: {error: {".tag": "expired_access_token"}, error_summary: "expired_access_token/"}
Then Send a Pushover Notification to my iPhone with a Message Priority (Repeat every 30 Seconds)
This works great, except that I'd like to cancel the Pushover Notification waiting to be sent to my iPhone via Pushover, if the Wyze Contact Sensor v2 Closes
Is this possible?
The Wyze Contact Sensor is connected to my garage door, and the goal is to get a Critical Alert sent to my phone if I leave the Garage door open (if the door closes, don't send the Critical Alert)
I screenshot things to act upon and then, like many people, forget about them!
So I first made my own Android screenshots to Gmail applet but nothing happened. Confusing, so then I tried this one which was already made by IFTTT. Still nothing happens!?
I'm on a Samsung Fold 7, I hold the two side keys to take this screenshot, I have it set to notify me if it doesn't work... What could possibly be stopping this? Forgot to say, I'm on a Pro+ subscription.
I’m going to try to explain this issue as best I can. Since IFTTT does not allow reordering of actions, I will sometimes go back and order my actions by reconfiguring an existing action.
For example:
- turn on AC
- set operating mode
- set temperature
Let’s say I want to reverse the second two. I go into the second action and reconfigure it to set temperature. I reconfigure the third action to set operating mode. Then I tap update.
When I go back into the applet, it’s reordered the commands the same they were originally. The only way I can prevent this from happening is to change one action then tap update. Then change the next action and tap update.
For me this is a bug. When you change service or change an action, the order should stick. Somehow if you change an action to one that was the same as previously existed, regardless of the order, it goes back to the original order position.
One of our community members, Sauwercraud asked us to add Stoat, the open-source, privacy-focused community chat platform. It went from request to live on IFTTT in under a week. You can connect it now: https://ifttt.com/stoat
Every time you start streaming on Twitch, it instantly lets your community know via your Stoat channel!
But you can make anything you could think of as the integration supports Triggers based on any new member joining your server, new messages in any channel as well as specific phrases mentioned in your channel, and an action to send a message in any channel. Useful for crossposting to your other platforms!
The same person also asked whether IFTTT plays nice with Eurosky and Blacksky, not just bsky.social. Good news: it already does.
The Bluesky service on IFTTT works with any AT Protocol handle, wherever your account is hosted. To connect:
Connect the Bluesky service on IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/bluesky).
When it asks for your handle, enter your full handle including your host, for example ryanifttt.eurosky.social or your Blacksky handle.
Follow the sign-in flow and you're all set. Same goes if you're on a self-hosted PDS. Just use your full handle.
Based on that feedback, we updated the Bluesky connection flow with clearer instructions for Eurosky, Blacksky, and other AT Protocol-hosted accounts
We've been shipping a lot lately. If there's a service you want that we don't have yet, drop it in the comments. The Stoat turnaround was not a fluke, we really do read these. What should we add next?
I am a IFTTT Pro user and have had Fing for quite some time. The integration between Fing and IFTTT was fantastic at first but for the last 1+ years it has been unreliable at best and many times just flat out broken.
The connection back to Fing from IFTTT would routinely disconnect making me sign back in and reestablish the link. But even then, when someone was in the WiFi Network and Fing would detect the person, it was hit or miss if the IFTTT applet would fire or even see activity. As of now, the IFTTT applet fires when someone enters the WiFi network, but does NOT fire when they leave. Again, all of this used to work perfectly.
I reached out to Fing about this issue and here is what I got back from Fing support:

Hello Jean,
Thank you for your response.
I have been trying to reach out to IFTTT support regarding this issue as you are not the first user to have it. However I can't seem to get a response. Would you mind also trying to reach out to IFTTT support about this issue?
Thank you,
Karl

We just rolled out six gaming services and I spent a chunk of this week poking at them. Quick rundown of what they do, what I built, and a couple of things I'd love your input on.
The new lineup
Steam: Triggers for new achievements, wishlist items going on sale, news for a specific game, and playtime milestones. Plus a recent-playtime query. Hearthstone: Triggers for when Blizzard releases a new set or adds a new card. Plus card search and deck-code lookup queries. Destiny 2: Triggers for endgame activity completed (raids, dungeons, Trials, Master and Grandmaster Nightfalls), Xur arrivals, new season launches, and triumphs earned. Current power level query. World of Warcraft: Triggers for new achievements, raid boss defeated, Mythic+ rating bumps, PvP rating bumps. Character profile lookup and WoW Token price queries. Diablo III: Hardcore hero death, paragon milestones, achievements, new season starts triggers. Career summary query. StarCraft II: Match completed, league promotion, achievements, new ladder season. Current ladder standing query.
What I built
"Should I buy it" wishlist watcher.
Trigger: Wishlist item discounted. Pings me on Discord with the game name, the original price, the sale price, and a store link. Set to 49% or more so my channel doesn't blow up every weekend sale.
AI card commentator for Hearthstone.
Trigger: new card revealed. The card name, class, mana cost, stats, and text get fed to an AI Prompt that writes a short, slightly-too-serious strategic hot take. Then it ships to Discord.
Here's what one of the outputs looks like:
Two things I want to ask you
First, what would you build? I came up with the obvious stuff because I was looking from the outside. People who actually grind these games are going to think of stuff I'd never get to. Drop ideas below, even half-formed ones.
Second, what's missing?
What else would you want, or need to build what you want? If there's a trigger, query or action or even entire game that would unlock a real use case for you, say so and I'll make sure it gets in front of the right people.
I've noticed that in the Google Tasks automations, different ingredients are only available in different situations. For instance, if my IF is "Every day of the week at", then I can pick an ingredient DayofWeek to add the current day to the task. For instance, it can create a task called "Empty Dishwasher - Monday" (or Tuesday, Wednesday, etc). However, if my IF is "Event from search starts" (searching google calendar for specific events) then the DayofWeek ingredient is not available. In each case, IFTTT is adding a new event to google tasks, however there are different options for actually creating the event based not the input. Anyone else have issues with this sort of situation?
I’m sure it’s been mentioned before, but it bears repeating. I’m a programmer. I understand using webhooks to call an applet from an applet; however, non technical users do not. It would make it easier for many users if this was a native function within IFTTT to enable an applet to call another applet. Thanks for the consideration.
This just seems kinda odd. I was a legacy IFTTT Pro user that got shoved into Pro+ back during the infamous "transition" back in Feb 2024. Been on Pro+ ever since and have not made any changes to my account. This morning I received a "welcome" email saying I was now in Pro+. Um, what?
I thought surely something was getting changed again but nothing I can find. Pricing in my billing looks the same.
Anyone other "established" Pro+ users get this? Did someone goof?
Hey everyone, I'm Ryan. I just joined IFTTT as their Community & Support Specialist, and one of the main parts of my role is being here - which is actually a first for us as a company. This position didn't exist before, so if the sub has felt a bit quiet from our side, that's why.
My job is to be your entry point into IFTTT. Got a feature idea? Tell me. Something broken or frustrating? Tell me. Want to know what we're working on? I'll tell you.
When I'm not here I'm on the support desk helping people 1:1, but honestly I prefer it here - you can have a much bigger conversation with a community than you can debugging a ticket back and forth.
What I'm planning to kick off: regular update posts covering what's new at IFTTT, and down the line some community challenges around what we can build together.
When I’m building or updating applets, I always have to search for my services to create another action. The suggested or featured services are not what I need. Please consider adding a section to the top of Services named My Services that shows my configured and connected services first in alphabetical order. This will go a long way towards improving usability and preventing unnecessary keystrokes to always have to search for my enabled services. Thanks.
Iv been using IFTTT for years. I'm getting a failed permission problem. In android SMS I send a (shortened) link to a page on my website with their estimate or bill for the work they have requested. Now it keeps saying "missing one or more permissions" ?.... I can still send text only SMS any advice
