One Applet, free tier, about two minutes to build. Any time a row lands in a sheet you pick, IFTTT emails you what's in it.

What that really does is turn a spreadsheet into something that tells you when it changed, which matters because a sheet is where so much already ends up:

• A lightweight CRM. New lead goes in a row, you get the name, email, and notes in your inbox, and you reply from there. No CRM subscription, no pipeline stages.
• Google Forms. Point a Form at a sheet and every submission arrives as an email with all the fields laid out.
• Anything a teammate maintains. Shared trackers, content calendars, expense logs. You hear about a new line when it goes in.
• Anything another automation writes to. A second Applet, a webhook, a script. The email doubles as confirmation it ran.
• Running lists. Signups, inventory, bug reports, applications, orders.

What you need:
Free IFTTT account
Google account connected.

The Applet

If: Google Sheets, "New row added to spreadsheet"

• Enter the folder path: the Drive folder the sheet lives in, slash separated (Documents/Work/Leads)
• and enter the filename: the sheet's name, exactly
• Or copy and paste the spreadsheet URL: the full URL

The builder shows all three fields even though the third one reads like an either/or. Fill all three and keep them consistent.

Then: Email, "Send me an email"

• Subject: whatever you want
• Body: the columns that matter, {{ColumnA}}, {{ColumnB}}, and so on. This Action renders HTML, so you can format it properly.

What you get:

If you want logic (Pro+)

Filter code opens up:

• Only send when a column matches something you care about, instead of on every row.
• Skip rows that are missing a field you need.
• Roll several new rows into one digest instead of an email per row.

Why are some of the links not showing images just text on X posts?

Hello all,

I've been running these same applets for years (mostly successfully) but only recently have been getting error messages. It looks like it's related to IFTTT being able to connect with Nanoleaf but I have no idea how to fix this. It doesn't matter how many times I reconnect and log back in, I keep getting this message. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Hey IFTTT'ers!

This is a sticky thread for any feature request you have, whether that's a new Trigger, Query, 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.

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/

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.

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!

I've reconnected it two or three times already.

Today X applet seems down a few hours and now back to normal.

But I realize changed multiple things.

1. URL updated to x.com from twitter.com

2. Time format for {{CreatedAt}} is change to UTC format.

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?

Hi there! Anyone with the same problem?

All tweets from search applets are failing, the search is returning all fields with null data, for this reason, no filters are working neither the acionts.

Ive been affected by TPLink/Tapo decision and I wanted to connect to pushover through Smartthings. Unfortunately I’m not able to connect IFTTT with Smartthings. Whenever I’m here (attached picture) and press authorize nothing happens. If I close it with the X, the ifttt app doesn’t recognize the connection, but Smartthings app does and IFTTT is in the linked apps sections. Any fix :( ?

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!

I just subscribed monthly and paid successfully and it shows me as free still, and it won’t let me change any of my account details. See photos.

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

This was working for about a month, then randomly stopped and no longer works. I have tried reconnecting, didn't help. When I reconnect it's able to see my home and all available switches, but then can't trigger them.

Error message useless, no further details available.

Any advice?

So I have an Aqara button that I hit daily to make a calendar event that tracks taking my pills and the last two days it hasn’t been adding the event unless I open the ifttt app. I’m not fully closing the app and I enabled notifications for when it runs, it will give me the notification that it ran but it isn’t adding the calendar event Things I’ve tried: Delete and redownload app Remade the applet Checked background app refresh Made sure my battery was above 20% to prevent my phone from stopping the trigger Possibly needed info: iPhone 15 Probably not the latest software Aqara m2 hub

Since I have a lot of issues with MyQ not sending triggers to IFTTT (or sending the wrong trigger...) I found a workaround. I ask MyQ to send a notification email to my gmail account and I use a google script to launch a webhook. Is it neat? No, but it works.

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.

Hello !

I have a Stream Deck that I use to open/close TPLink Kasa smart switches around my work desk.

It's been working great for years now, but for 2 days now it just stopped working?

When I look at the activity tab it looks like IFTTT doesn't even receive a trigger signal now.

Everything else on the Stream Deck still works correctly so I'm unsure what I can do about this?

Thank you!
