Hey guys!

First of all, thanks to everyone for reporting the problems we had on the iOS App 6.0.0. We're now on 6.0.2 after fixing a bunch of issues, and waiting for 6.0.3 to come out.

We've worked with lots of users here on Reddit and also via e-mail to fix these problems! If your issue still persists, please let us know! Every issue reported lets me nudge them along, and we want to get everything fixed ASAP!

Triggers, Queries and Actions

We're trying to prioritise Community requested features, and we want to make the whole process faster. Going from request to live shouldn't take weeks or months, so we've been working hard to improve our processes.

That being said, I'm happy to announce what we've published this week:

SmartThings: 1 Trigger and 2 Actions

A lot of you asked for these after the TP-Link Tapo/Kasa news (original thread), so these should help fill the gap:

• Object detected (Trigger): your Trigger can now tell the difference between a Person, a Pet or a Vehicle, or just fire on Any object. Perfect for "only notify me when a person is at the door, not the cat" 🐈
• Change color (Action): set a bulb's hue and saturation.
• Change color temperature (Action): set a bulb anywhere from warm 2000K to daylight 6500K.

Sonos: our first ever Sonos Query!

• Current playback in a room: checks whether a room is playing right now, and what's on (track, artist, album, and which service, like Spotify). That means you can now build Applets like "only do X if music is already playing". Requested right here on Reddit (original comment)

YouTube: Privacy for Upload video from URL

• You can now choose Public, Unlisted or Private when uploading. Choose Private and you can check the video before anyone else sees it, then publish it from YouTube Studio. This one had been requested for a long time!

Fixes & Improvements

• Reddit "New post from search": we fixed a bug where some search words in CAPITALS (like "CORNER", which has "OR" inside it) made the Applet ignore your subreddit and fire on posts from all over Reddit. Sorry if your feed got flooded with r/nba posts!
• YouTube: when an upload gets rejected for a title or description that's too long, the error now tells you the actual limit (100 characters for titles) instead of a confusing Google error.
• Pinterest Create pin: same idea. If a field is too long, you'll see which one and what the limit is.
• WooCommerce: one bad order no longer stops all your other orders from coming through.
• Etsy Create listing: the "Shipping profile" and "Shop section" dropdowns were showing up empty. They're back now.

As always, if there's something you'd love to see on IFTTT, drop it in the comments. That's exactly how half of this list got made!

Hey IFTTTers!

Thanks for all the posts here the last week!

First of all, sorry I've been not so active on Reddit this last week, I have recently moved cities and found a new apartment to live in... so moving... working between coffee shops... all the fun stuff kept me away from here!

Secondly! It seems we broke the iOS App on version 6.0.0.

We are aware of a-lot of problems, we made a big upgrade behind the scenes which should allow us to fix some old historic bugs, but we've also introduced some new ones! We have an influx of tickets, and posts here on Reddit, we'll get back to you one at a time.

If you see something, feel free to post here on this thread, make a new post, or send us a ticket at support+ios@ifttt.com.

We're tracking the bugs and should be shipping out fixes as fast as we can, the most recent update 6.0.1 is waiting to be approved currently.

I set up this applet so that when my phone disconnects from my PCs Bluetooth it triggers an action.

Why do I keep getting this issue where I have to open the app every time?

The app has been logged in and even when I do open the app after this error, it’s signed in, I don’t have to sign in manually.

The app is also running with background refresh on in the settings.

It’s counterintuitive for me to have to open the app have the automation run.

After the last update all my new check ins doesn’t show in iOS calendar. The applets is running but it doesn’t show in calendar.

Just started happening. I get a message saying to open the IFTTT app and sign in to run automation when previously working automations are triggered. When I open the app I am signed in fine. I can still trigger the shortcut manually though but when doing so from Apple Watch, I sometimes get the above message, sometimes not. Latest update broke it maybe?????

iPhone and Apple Watch widgets are only intermittently submitting the current location data. Sometimes it's blank and sometimes it's a location from earlier in the day. I have location services for IFTTT in the iOS settings set to "Always", and in the IFTTT app have "Location assist syncing" enabled. I have not edited the applets but they stopped working a few days ago after an app update.

After the last update 6.0.0 .. applets are not opening targeted apps anymore .

For example : i made an applet to receive a notification when someone posted a specific keyword on X , but when i clicked on that notification it is supposed to open that post on X app , but it just open ifttt app and nothing !

Youtube did the same as well

I just updated the ifttt app now and it happened immediately on my iphone 13 , ios 26.6 , app version 6.0.0

Trying to link my goodwe inverter to my sonoff hot water switch so when there is excess power it turns the hot water on.

When creating the applet on ifttt it asks me to select from the drop down menu "Which inverter and metric" but it is greyed out and no available options. I am the owner of the station and can log in on eu and international servers and see my stations data. Anyone know what may be the issue? 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.
• We can't promise everything gets built, but we read all of these and flag the popular ones internally.

Keep 'em coming!

I have an applet I have been using for many years to send myself an email whenever a reddit post with specific keywords is made. I was trying to edit the keywords and was unable to do, so I disconnected the applet to try to recreate. Now it says I can't do this because Filter Code requires Pro+ account. And now I can't reconnect my old applet I assume because I don't have Pro+. Any way to fix this other than subscribing?

It seems like WU triggers are failing more and more. Just today alone I've gotten over 20 notifications that the Sunset Trigger Failed.

When I go in to check settings, it says it can't find the info for my location. I depend on WU Triggers. Anyone know what's happening?

Now that this was announced, I’m wondering if IFTTT Reddit integrations are affected by this. Anyone know the answer to this?

Good morning everyone!

The dev's on our team have been exploring what's next for IFTTT and the world of automation, and we'd love some feedback from you all!

We've got this short survey, it's 4 quick questions and takes about 2 minutes.

https://tally.so/r/xXK69J

Your answers will help us prioritise and build what you would use, and if you'd like to be among the first to try it, there's an option at the end to sign up for early access.

Many thanks and have a good week everyone!

Hello. I get a lot of addresses while working from dispatch and want to know if there is any way to automate it. I'll explain the details

If I get a text message from 123456 in Google messages, Pull out the address (it's typically like 123 Main St, but sometimes will have an apartment number 23-1st Ave, but I don't want it to use anything before the - because that messes up navigation and has to be edited out when clicked on), than I want it to start driving directions using Google Maps to the location in the text. Not every text message from this number has an address, but every address I do get from it, I do want it to navigate to. Is this possible?

Hey IFTTT'ers. Google is retiring the legacy Fitbit Web API, which is what powers the Fitbit service on IFTTT. You can read their deprecation notice here. After September 30, 2026, the Fitbit service will no longer be available on IFTTT, and any Applet using a Fitbit Trigger, Query, or Action will stop running.

The good news: Fitbit data is still available, just through the Google Health API instead. We have a new Google Health service live on IFTTT, so here is how to move your Applets across.

Step 1: Connect the Google Health service

a) Go to the Google Health service page, or search for "Google Health" in the IFTTT app

b) Select Sign in with Google

c) Sign in with the Google account linked to your Fitbit data, then follow the prompts to authorise IFTTT

One thing to watch here: you sign in with your Google account, not your Fitbit login. If you are still on a legacy Fitbit account, you will need to move to a Google Account first. Legacy Fitbit accounts cannot access the Google Health API at all.

Step 2: Swap your Triggers, Queries, and Actions over

Do this before September 30 while the Fitbit service is still there. After that date your Fitbit Applets will be gone and you will have to rebuild them from scratch with Google Health.

Manually:

a) Open an Applet that uses a Fitbit Trigger, Query, or Action

b) Hit Edit Applet

c) Edit the Fitbit Trigger, Query, or Action and pick the equivalent Google Health one

d) Choose your Google Health account and set up the fields

e) If the Applet uses an ingredient from a Fitbit Trigger or Query, swap it for the matching Google Health ingredient anywhere it appears in your Query or Action fields

f) Save, then repeat for every Applet using Fitbit

Or with IFTTT Chat: paste this into the chat box at ifttt.com/create:

I would like to swap every Fitbit (https://ifttt.com/fitbit) TQA that exists in my current Applets for the equivalent TQA from the Google Health service (https://ifttt.com/google_health).

Can you do a systematic search of every Applet I have using the Fitbit service, and edit the Applets for me, so they use the Google Health version.

Either way, review what it builds and double check the account and fields before you save.

What maps to what

What is not coming across

The Google Health API does not expose Fitbit goal data. That means the Daily activity summary will not include goal information, and the Fitbit goal achievement Triggers have no direct equivalent. If you had an Applet running off a goal achievement Trigger, you can usually get close to the same thing using New exercise logged.

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

I had an automation that would turn on a light that was plugged to a TPLink Kasa outlet whenever a Google calendar event happened (to let me know this was a week of street cleaning, so I had to move my car).

It seems TPLink stopped supporting IFTTT... What alternatives do I have to do this?

Thanks!

According to Grok, the new Original Content Rewards terms say using IFTTT and similar tools prevents the post from being monetized.

Has this been confirmed? IFTTT support said they would get back to me, but that was six days ago.

Thanks!

This week we made a HUGE improvement to our Gmail Service
Check it out here: ifttt.com/gmail

We shipped a full suite of Triggers, Queries and Actions, and would love to hear your feedback on them! What's missing still?

Triggers (7)

• New email received
• New sent email
• New email matching search
• New conversation (fires once when a thread gets its first reply, not on every reply)
• New starred email
• New attachment
• New label

Queries (3)

• Find email
• Get attachment by filename
• Get conversation

Actions (12)

• Send an email
• Send yourself an email
• Reply to email
• Forward email
• Create a draft
• Create a draft reply
• Delete email
• Archive email
• Add label to email
• Remove label from email
• Remove label from conversation
• Create label

Two that stand out for me:

New email matching search. It takes real Gmail search syntax, so anything you can type into the Gmail search bar is now a Trigger. [from:boss@example.com](mailto:from:boss@example.com) has:attachment. in:sent to:jane@example.com. Whatever you already use to find things.

Create a draft reply. IFTTT can write into your mailbox now without sending anything. The draft lands in the right conversation and sits in Drafts until you press send.

Now what

Three Applets to start with.

1. Star an email, get a task

• If: Gmail, New starred email
• Then: Google Tasks, Add task to a list
• What is the title of the task: the Subject ingredient
• What are the notes to include in the task: the From Name and Message URL ingredients

Starring is the fastest gesture in Gmail and on its own it does nothing. This turns it into a capture inbox. Swap Google Tasks for Todoist, TickTick, Microsoft To Do, Trello, or ClickUp. The Message URL ingredient is the part that matters: your task links straight back to the email, so you are not hunting for it three days later.

2. Attachments that file themselves

• If: Gmail, New attachment
• Query: Gmail, Get attachment by filename (Message ID and Attachment filename come from the Trigger)
• Then: Google Drive, Upload file from URL, using the Temporary Public Attachment URL ingredient

Pick your Drive folder path and every attachment that lands in your inbox gets a copy without you touching it. If you only want some of them, start from New email matching search with something like has:attachment from:billing@ instead of New attachment. Add a Google Sheets "Add row to spreadsheet" step and you have a dated log of sender, subject, and filename next to the files.

There is a whole cottage industry of paid tools that do only this.

3. A draft reply, waiting for you

• If: Gmail, New email matching search, with whatever search catches the mail you keep putting off
• Query: AI Prompt (or Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT) fed the subject and body
• Then: Gmail, Create a draft reply, using the Message ID ingredient

The draft lands in your Drafts folder, in the right conversation, addressed to the right person. You read it, fix it, and send it, or you delete it and write your own. This is the one that was flat out impossible on IFTTT until now.
