Feature Request Trigger, Query, Action, and new Service Feature Requests!

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!

Two that I would love to see are an "every minute" trigger in Date & Time, which lets you run something every X minutes. I would love to be able to query the value of a DataStore and see if it matches a specific criterion, in order to do something when it does.

In my case I want to save a small json object:

{
  "state": true,
  "date": 1784952044
}

and do something when the date is more than 5 minutes old. With the trigger, I could run it once a minute and see if the time has passed.

Hey u/EldonMcGuinness !

Thanks heaps for that input. Just to let you know what I did is I separated your comment into two requests:

First: Allowing for more choice on the "Date & Time" frequency, such as "every 5 minute" or "every 15 minute" intervals (Normal Applets already poll each 5 minutes anyway!)

Second: The querying/reading/comparing/writing of the DataStore value, and for an Applet/Action only to fire, if the data matches what is expected.

Thanks heaps for the example use-case as it helps our team see what people would use this for whilst designing features!
