Account Setup

Creating a IFTTTT account is easy. Visit there website and create your free account.

Once you're hooked up, you'll want to visit this URL on Webhooks. This will be the gateway Apprise will use to signal any Applets you create. When you visit this page it will give you your API key in the form of a URL.

The URL might something like this: https://maker.ifttt.com/use/b1lUk7b9LpGakJARKBwRIZ

This effectively equates to: https://maker.ifttt.com/use/{WebhookID}

In the above example the WebhookID is b1lUk7b9LpGakJARKBwRIZ. You will need this value!

Syntax

Valid syntaxes are as follows:

• ifttt://{WebhookID}@{Event}/
• ifttt://{WebhookID}@{Event}/{Value1}/
• ifttt://{WebhookID}@{Event}/{Value1}/{Value2}/{Value3}/

By default you don't need to specify or override an ingredient (these are the {{ValueX}} entries). So the standard URL ifttt://{WebhookID}/{Event}/ should work for everyone. By default the Notification you specify gets mapped to the Applet ingredients so:

• {{Value1}} = Notification Title
• {{Value2}} = Notification Body
• {{Value3}} = Notification Message Type (the text 'info', 'critical', etc)

There may be cases where you simply don't want to pass a notification message to your IFTTT web hook, You're goal is to just trigger the event (maybe it's going to flip a light switch for example). You can over-ride values like so (this disables the value entries - note that they must be lower-case!):

• ifttt://{WebhookID}@{WebhookToken}/?value1=&value2=&value3=
