class platypush.plugins.ifttt.IftttPlugin(ifttt_key, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Plugin

This plugin allows you to interact with the IFTTT maker API <https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks> to programmatically trigger your own IFTTT hooks from Platypush - e.g. send a tweet or a Facebook post, create a Todoist item or a Trello task, trigger events on your mobile device, or run any action not natively supported by Platypush but available on your IFTTT configuration.

An example:

# Trigger an IFTTT event named "at_home"
{
    "type": "request",
    "action": "ifttt.trigger_event",
    "args": {
        "event_name": "at_home"
    }
}
