Connecting IFTTT with Homey

To connect IFTTT with Homey, you can use Homey's built-in Webhooks.

Starting a Flow from an IFTTT Applet

1. In the Homey App, navigate to Flow and select New Flow.
2. Add a When card → select Logic → Webhook event has been received.
3. In the Event field, type a unique phrase, such as my_unique_event.
4. Hover over the i icon, and copy the URL displayed there.
5. The URL should look like this: https://5edb9248470f0276f4b63151.homey.eu-central-1.homeycloud.net/webhook/?event=my_event&tag=my_tag
6. Replace my_event with your unique phrase my_unique_event.
7. The final URL should look like this: https://5edb9248470f0276f4b63151.homey.eu-central-1.homeycloud.net/webhook/?event=my_unique_event&tag=my_tag
8. Copy this URL. You will need it for your IFTTT applet.
9. Add the When-cards you want to start when IFTTT sends the webhook.
10. If you don't have an IFTTT account, visit ifttt.com and sign up for their service.
11. Go to ifttt.com/create to create a new applet.

12. Under If This, search for your applet's trigger.
13. Under Then That, search for Webhooks and select Make a web request.

Now you can activate your applet, and you're done! 🎉
