IFTTT update: Window shades, finance tools, home security, & more — new on IFTTT

Summer has been sizzling at IFTTT HQ, but we aren’t just talking about 🌭 and 🏖. In between tanning sessions, we’ve been working with exceptional companies and products to bring you new services and Applets that keep you connected to all your favorite tech. So, take a look at the latest and let us know what you think.  

So bright you gotta wear shades

Both Automate Shades and Connector Applets give you better control over the internet connected shades in your home, so you can lower them to block out the heat of the day or raise them to enjoy the sunset, all without leaving the comfort of your couch. 

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Working hard for the money

Whether you’re saving up for a last-minute beach vacation or something a bit closer to home, check out ING Australia and Monzo’s new tools to help you meet your finance goals.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

There’s no place like home

So let’s keep it safe and secure while you’re out of town! M2M Services and LifeShield Applets provide peace of mind while you’re away, so you can focus on the important things. Like getting more umbrella drinks.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

For some of us, there’s nothing quite like sleeping in your own bed after a big adventure. For others? Adjusting to life after vacation can be a bit of a bummer 😑.  Either way, we have you covered. Hive View’s indoor video monitoring kept you up-to-date on the hijinks your pets (or teenagers!) got up to while you were away, so there should be no big surprises. And new Applets from Sengled, MicroBot Push, MicroBot Sense, VeSync, and MobiLinc will help you get your home’s temperature, lighting, music, and more dialed in so reentry is as painless as possible.

IFTTT update: IFTTT + Wyze Cam = connected home security for all

Using smart cameras for home security is a popular topic here at IFTTT, but we realize that outfitting a whole house with cameras can be an expensive prospect. This is why Wyze’s new integration on IFTTT is so exciting. This WiFi-enabled camera is a total steal. It only costs $20. $30 if you want the fancy new version with panning functionality. It shoots 1080p HD, and features night vision, two-way audio, and free 14-day cloud storage for your alert videos. Best of all? It has built-in smoke and CO detection, which is a first for connected cameras on IFTTT.   Once you have your Wyze cameras in place, we’ll help you arm and disarm motion sensing, manage your alerts and saved videos, and more. So, let’s make sure you’re capturing video where you want it, when you want it, whether you’re using Wyze for security or creating a cool time-lapse video of your construction project!  

Motion detection

Some people stick to the same schedule most days: leave for work at 8AM, get home at 6PM, in bed no later than 10:34PM every night. Others have a more, shall we say, fluid sense of time and space. Whether you run a tight ship or prefer flying by the seat of your pants, you can now automate when Wyze starts looking for movement in your home.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Notifications or nah?

If you have a new kitten or puppy at home, you might want to know every time it ventures into the kitchen. Who knows when the cuteness (or destruction) is going to strike, right? But at the same time you might not want to get a text every time your teenager is in there looking for a snack. These Applets control when and how you get notifications, so you stay connected without getting overwhelmed.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Keep your home safe

From alerting the fire department when the smoke detector goes off to saving regularly-scheduled videos for later review, you can keep an eye on your home from afar with minimal effort.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Wyze and IFTTT, so we’re excited to see how you put us to work!  Watch this space for more Applets as they are published, and if you’re ready to create your own, get started here.

IFTTT update: Take control of your spending and saving with Monzo

What if you could demand more from your bank? More flexibility. More automation options. More collaboration. In short, what if your financial institution had a better connection to the rest of your life?

Enter Monzo. Monzo is building the bank of the future for UK customers. With integrated money management tools, customizable saving options, no foreign transaction fees and other exciting innovations, Monzo empowers their users to make smart decisions about their spending every day.

Monzo recently integrated with IFTTT to help you meet your goals, financial or otherwise. In fact, Monzo is the first financial service on IFTTT to allow access to your credit card transactions, purchases, transaction attachments, and more — which opens up options for Applets that hadn’t been previously possible. And we are so excited to see how the Monzo community puts IFTTT to work!

Automate savings

Monzo makes saving money for specific goals easy — whether it’s starting a rainy day fund or saving up for your next tropical vacation. Instead of creating a separate account for your travel fund, you can simply create a pot. Monzo separates this bucket of money from your available balance, so you aren’t as tempted to spend it on something else. Now, with IFTTT, you can painlessly save money every time you use your card or even participate in savings challenges to help you get in the habit of saving every day.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Take control of your budget

Even if you don’t buy any big-ticket items, lunches out, quick snacks and small impulse buys add up quickly — and can often derail your long-term financial goals. Luckily, Monzo's Applets have you covered. Giving yourself a daily allowance can help curb that impulsive spending, and reviewing  your transaction trends once a week lets you identify patterns and adjust as needed.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Easy record keeping

Keeping track of reimbursable expenses can be such a headache. Stop digging crumpled receipts out of your luggage after business trips. Just snap a quick photo, and Monzo will take care of the rest.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Stay healthy

Some of the most exciting Applets for Monzo are designed to connect your financial habits with your other goals. You can reward yourself for going to the gym, remind yourself to drink more 🚰 and less ☕ , or even sass yourself for going out to eat too frequently!

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

These are just a few ways you can meet your financial and personal goals using Monzo and IFTTT. You can check out more Monzo Applets, or have a peek at all the creative ideas coming out of the Monzo community.   Interested in seeing your own service on IFTTT? Visit the IFTTT Platform to learn how to build and get started.

IFTTT update: Our new and improved mobile search

A great search experience isn’t just about finding relevant information based on your search query — it’s also about discovery. Millions of people come to IFTTT to explore new topics of interest, find new ways to use the products they love, and uncover new things about their products they didn’t even know about. Over the past few months, we’ve made three improvements to IFTTT search in the iOS and Android apps to help you find and discover relevant Applets and topics of interest in a faster, more intuitive interface.

A search button that gets you closer to the action

Whether you’re looking for a particular Applet or want to do more with your iPhone or Android devices, you want to find what you need without disrupting your flow. To speed things up, we added a search button to the top right corner of the app. Want to connect your Philips Hue lights to Alexa? Simply tap on the search button to start exploring.

Improving search and discovery

While scrolling through search results can be a great method of discovery, it can be a pain when you can’t find what you’re looking for. Now, your search query will return relevant search results in two different tabs. That way, you can choose whether you want to see Applets or services and quickly get what you need.

Looking for a particular Applet that relates to a specific service, like Google Assistant? Or maybe you want to find an Applet with a particular functionality, like “call phone?” Just type “Google Assistant” or “call phone” in the search field and the Applets tab will show you the most relevant search results. Want to find all Applets that relate to a specific service? Simply search for the name of the service and the results will appear in the services tab.

Better and faster

Beyond the new search interface on mobile, our improved search returns more relevant results. It also makes it easier to find relevant Applets and services faster — three times faster.

We’ve found that these three search improvements make it easier for users to find what they need. Users are 45% more likely to enable Applets from the new search results. We hope you like it too! If you haven't already, download IFTTT for iOS and Android today.

SwitchBot, eWeLink Smart Home, digitalSTROM, iO.e, and sRemo all offer different ways to build a smart home command center and control all your devices. And Somfy brought two services online this month: the TaHoma hub and their Connected Thermostat.

Robot takeover

Well, not quite — but the popularity of the new iRobot service from Roomba shows that people are ready for more automated help in the home. Luxafor’s smart lights and BOND’s system for controlling fans round out the new devices launched last month.

Tracking and safety

Keep yourself and your stuff safe with these new partners: SafeTrek offers new ways to send for help and tracMo’s Bluetooth finder can keep you connected to all your important items.

Data, data, everywhere

Finally, we know that this time of year there’s probably a mountain of work sitting between you and your holiday vacation. We got you: data.world works with all your datasets and streams to help automate and save time. Sync it with our newly revamped Google Drive, Sheets, and Docs services to take your productivity up a notch.

IFTTT update: Google Drive is new and improved

The Google Drive service is a cornerstone at IFTTT. It keeps our businesses and households running smoothly. It helps us organize research and store precious memories. It can even automatically build an archive of awe-inspiring NASA images. That said, we're always working to improve our services to better meet your needs. Historically, Applets that interact with Google Sheets or Google Docs have fallen under the umbrella of Google Drive. Today, we’re excited to introduce new, separate services for Google Sheets and Google Docs — and some big improvements to the original Google Drive service.

Get to know Google Sheets and Docs These new actions and triggers will help you keep your life organized and effectively collaborate with friends and colleagues across the globe.

From creating a social media archive and recording your work hours to tracking your caffeine consumption and reminding you to call your mom more, the Google Sheets service allows you to keep track of, well, pretty much anything.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Google Sheets triggers include:

New row added to spreadsheet

Cell updated in spreadsheet

New spreadsheet added

Google Sheets actions include:

Add a new row to spreadsheet

Whether you’re trying to remember discussion points from a meeting or rushing to finish up your honey-do list, Google Docs Applets make lingering fears over forgetting your action items a thing of the past.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Google Docs triggers include:

New document added

Google Docs actions include:

Create a document

Append to a document

Meet the improved Google Drive service

Even the most internet-savvy among us sometimes have trouble keeping track of our favorite articles, songs, and images. Applets for Google Drive can help you save and easily search everything — and automatically share the right files with the right people.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Google Drive triggers include:

New file in your folder

New video or photo in your folder

New starred file in folder

Google Drive actions include:

Upload a file from a URL (Note: there’s a 30 MB file size limit)

We hope these changes will encourage the creation of more Applets specific to Google Docs and Google Sheets — we can't wait to see what you do with these new tools. If you already have Applets that worked with Google Drive and now fall under these new services, don’t worry — you don’t have to take any action!

Spend some time with Sheets, Docs, and Drive, and let us know what you think.

IFTTT update: Air quality updates, task managers, smart plugs & more — new on IFTTT

October wasn’t just about scaring trick-or-treaters — we put the candy bowl aside and took some time to help eight new services launch. Here’s what came to IFTTT last month.

New ways to stay on task

We were delighted to add two often requested apps to the platform — Remember the Milk and Asana. Use them to update projects automatically, keep colleagues and collaborators in the know, and even — yes — remember to pick up milk!

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Monitor and manage the air up there

Last month was a tough one for all our friends and family in the Bay Area. We launched the AirNow service to help everyone in the area track the air quality as they were out and about.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

We know for some people air quality is an everyday concern: Air by Propeller works with IFTTT to track and alert people to asthma conditions in their neighborhoods, so they can breathe easy. Or maybe you just want to keep a closer eye on the weather. WeatherFlow Smart Weather Stations can help.

Tools for the home and the office

We also welcomed some new services that can augment your living and working space. Fortinet’s FortiVoice system makes office phone headaches a thing of the past.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

After the work day is done, come home to a smart home powered by CNCT Life’s intelliplug and the Invoxia Triby portable speaker hub. You can easily use them together now that they both work with IFTTT!

That was October! Check back in a month, and we’ll round up November’s launches. Can't wait? Turn on these Applets to find out as soon as new services come to IFTTT.

IFTTT update: Google Calendar got a huge update

Fitting your entire life into a teeny tiny screen can be a daunting task. Thankfully, Google Calendar and IFTTT are here to help! Applets have always helped you quickly create events and bring important information into your calendar, but now they can do even more. Here’s what we updated:

Choose different calendars for each Applet

Got both a work calendar and a personal calendar? Got a family calendar, and one just for you? In the past, you could only link one to IFTTT at a time. Now you’ll be able to turn on Applets that work with any calendar you own.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Hot tip: If you've enabled Applets in the past and would like to change the calendar they work with, just click the gear icon in the top right to reconfigure. No need to make brand new ones!

Run Applets when events end

Automate all those post-meeting tasks, like turning your ringer back on or creating a doc for meeting notes. Or just get a final reminder, to make sure you don’t forget to send a birthday greeting. You can run these Applets for every event, or get specific and only run them when an event has a certain name or keyword in the description.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Run Applets when you respond to an event

Keep track of your packed schedule — and share it with the people who need to know. Super handy if you manage a group calendar for the office or your home.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Quickly sync event details between calendars

You’ve always been able to quickly add events to your Google Calendar via IFTTT. Now, with the “Create a detailed event” action, you can seamlessly sync calendars by pulling over start and end times, titles, descriptions, locations, attendees, and even whether an event is all day or not.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

We’re heading into the busy holiday season, so these updates came at the perfect time. Give them a try, and let us know how it goes! Want to know as soon as any other Google Calendar improvements are made? Turn on these Applets to stay in the loop.

IFTTT update: Cute bots, smart kettles, internet controls, & more — new on IFTTT

September’s launches are perfect for making memories, staying in touch, getting cozy, and spending time as a family. It’s like the universe is easing us into the holiday season! Take a look at what came to IFTTT last month.

Say cheese

Two new updates for photography fans. Aura Frames is a smart photo display system that can show off your pics or any number of inspiring images. You could even pair it with Jibo — this voice assistant launched in beta earlier in the year, but they’re back with a new trigger: Jibo can now take photos. Smile!

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Meet the IFTTT bot!

After a few weeks in a private beta, we were delighted to go live with our Facebook Messenger integration. Applets can bring important information into your chat with the IFTTT bot so you’re always up to date and informed.

Hi from the UK

Two devices from UK-based companies made their debut last month. Smarter, which has a range of innovative smart kitchen appliances, launched their iKettle. And Hive added to their range of services with Hive Active Thermostat. Stay toasty, and have a cuppa.

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Manage the ins and outs of your home

Whether they’re in real life, via your door or garage; or virtual, via the internet — you want to have control and visibility into what’s coming into and out of your home. Amarr Entrematic’s garage and door systems have the first scenario covered. And Circle’s innovative internet controls make managing the online habits of anyone in the house easy and automatic. Their partnership with Disney will help keep your kids happy, even while you’re regulating their screen time!

table.applets-column img { width: 100% }

Finally, Optus Smart Living also brought their service online. Based in New Zealand, Australia, and China, they want to educate people about smart homes. They’ve curated an impressive selection of Applets to help tell that story.
