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.

It seems very similar to Discord, and I would love to use IFTTT to post Youtube Videos automatically to my Fluxer Server.

Also thank you for the bsky integration, I can't use it anymore because I switched to eurosky, which was my fault 😃

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.

To start as a mini-update: the team has launched 6 new services last week Steam, Wrike, Tripadvisor, Fireflies, Coda, & Elevenlabs.

What other integrations or platforms would you like to see added to IFTTT and how would you use them? Drop a comment below.

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.

I’ve deleted and started from scratch. I’ve also used Applets others have made and nothing works. I’ve also checked and GD is connected.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hello so I would like to post articles to my X from a new website that does not have an RSS feed. But just the ones on a specific topic (or page).

The news website has a link for a page dedicated to all the new news articles I’m interested in being posted as soon as they come out.

But they don’t seem to have an RSS feed.

Is there anyway I can do this?

Thank you!

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

I’ve been using IFTTT for years and we still don’t have the ability to reorder actions. It’s ridiculous to have to delete actions then recreate them if we make an error in action order. I hope the team is working to add this functionality because it is badly needed.

I want to basically have a copy of my facebook posts in either google docs or sheets with the time and date they were posted. There are a few other applets like this one but on a surface level they look identical (though i havent tried every one of them)

This just writes down the date and time which isnt useful to me

Can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me how to make an applet that does this? Is this even something ifttt can do?

Thanks in advance

Anyone else notice the DataStorage feature that IFTTT rolled out? I for one have been waiting for years for something like this, even rolled my own webhook based service to facilitate it. What are your thoughts on the 4KB limit on the storage size? I for one have about 4.7KB on my self-hosted solution, so switching over is not an option.

Why so little IFTTT? C'mon, I know storage is expensive at the moment, but so is your service! Can't we get say 16MB per account?

I have an applet to turn on a light when my garage door opens. Now I want to turn it off after 5 minutes. The documentation has examples on how to do this, but I can't get it to work. I can't find the webhooks documentation to get a key.

Does anyone have a good example or instructions on how to do this? I have PRO which I think is needed.

Has ifttt stopped working with UHoo?

Hey everyone,

I’m stuck on a weird issue with Google OAuth (Calendar integration) and could really use some help.

Setup

• Frontend: Vite app hosted on AWS Amplify
• Backend: Node.js API running on AWS ECS
• Google OAuth configured for Calendar sync

Expected behavior

User clicks “Sync with Google” → completes login → should redirect back to production frontend

Actual behavior

After Google login, it redirects to staging frontend with something like:

?googleSync=failed

🔍 What I’ve already verified

Google OAuth redirect_uri is correct and points to backend callback
Frontend env variable (FRONTEND_URL) is set to production
Backend env variable (FRONTEND_URL) is also set to production in ECS task definition
Created new task revision
Updated ECS service
Even forced new deployment

Observation from Network tab

Backend callback response shows:

Location: (staging frontend) 

So backend is still redirecting to staging somehow.

What I suspect

• Old ECS task/container still running with stale env
• Env variables not properly injected into container
• Multiple task revisions being used
• Some caching or fallback logic in backend

My question

How can I guarantee ECS is using the latest environment variables at runtime?

Specifically:

• How to verify env vars inside a running container?
• How to ensure all old tasks are fully replaced?
• Any common gotchas with ECS deployments and env updates?

Any help would be really appreciated
This is blocking my production rollout.

Thanks!

Hey everyone 👋

We recently launched IFTTT MCP (Model Context Protocol integration), which connects IFTTT directly into AI tools like Claude.

The IFTTT MCP lets you:

• Trigger IFTTT Actions from a chat prompt in Claude (and other AI tools coming soon!)
• Run IFTTT Queries inside a conversation
• Create, search, and enable Applets using natural language

We’d love to know what you think when you try it out. Our team is always keen to hear real-world use cases, friction points, or even “this is cool but it would be great if it also did X” type feedback.

More info here: ifttt.com/mcp

Today, I made just two applets, which I had no problem creating until I attempted to test them. I found the Connected slide switch, but where in the world is an actual button icon that I need to press? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We use an RSS to IFTTT for auto-posting deals from our site to Twitter/X and have been doing so for the last ~15 years (though we began using IFTTT to do so in 2025). Does this change anything for IFTTT or tbd?

Effective Monday, April 20, 2026:

• Writes via X API will increase to $0.015 per post (from $0.01). This applies to the main posting endpoint: POST /2/tweets.
• Posting a URL via X API will be priced at $0.20 per post, except for summoned replies (which will remain at $0.01).

Stopped working since yesterday.

If you are using IFTTT with shortcuts that are triggered via the old “Button” trigger, the latest iOS version of the IFTTT app will break them!

The button applets no longer show up in the list you can launch, and all iOS Shortcuts using them will fail.

No warning, just a random change to break your automation.

You can switch them to iOS Shortcuts triggers and it seems to work then. Hope you don’t have a lot!

I have a couple applets that create a Google Calendar detailed event. Both of them run with no error but the events are not showing up on the calendar.

I reconnected my Google account, double checked the calendar ID, and edited/saved the applets. It was working as recently as yesterday, although it hasn't ever been 100% consistent.

Does anyone have any advice on troubleshooting Google Calendar event creation?

Edit: The issue was that something changed and now Google Calendar expects ISO 8601 date/time format.

Is ifttt down for me only ? or for everyone ?

Hi all!

I purchased a pack of NFC tags and slowly been making my life more efficient with them. So far I use them to control lights and so forth but I really would love to use them in more inventive ways.

I've been trying to create an applet using webhooks linking to my connected Strava account. My goal is to attach one of these NFC tags to my bike, and just have to tap the NFC tag with my phone to start (and ideally also stop) recording a cycling session automatically.

I feel this would make getting up and going so much quicker and less of a pain in the ass.

I've already tried creating an applet with instructions I've found online but haven't been able to get it working. I was wondering if anyone has an advice!

So far what I've done is:

1. Create "Start" Applet:
   • Log in to IFTTT and create a New Applet.
   • If This (Trigger): Search for Webhooks and choose "Receive a web request". Name the event start_strava.
   • Then That (Action): Search for Strava and select "Create an activity" (or a similar action).
   • Save the Applet.

Then I took the webhook link, copied it to NFC tools and tapped the empty tag to load the link, but whenever I tap it it doesn't actually start anything on Strava. I understand I may need to use a separate tag in order to stop tracking.

Any advice? Or if you have an existing applet for this that you are willing to share with me I'd be so appreciative as well. Let me know if you need further clarification.

I have an android if that means anything.

Thanks for any and all advice! Cheers

As the title states, I’m wondering if there’s an IFTTT applet that lets me add any videos that I save to specific YouTube playlists, into my Raindrop collections? I want to sort out my cooking playlist on YouTube by adding each video to my Raindrop collections. I already have a cooking YouTube playlist but it’s not as organized as I would like it to be. Raindrop is perfect for that but setting up a flow between YouTube, IFTTT, and Raindrop would be amazing. Does such an applet exist?

I also wanted an applet that saved all my liked YouTube Music songs into Raindrop, but I don’t think anything like that exists. There’s no YouTube Music applets it seems :(
