IFTTT

Any IFTTT trigger can send a Pocketbell notification with the Webhooks service’s Make a web request action, which needs IFTTT Pro.

This uses a webhook Source, with the text as the message, so there’s no JSON to get wrong.

  1. In the Pocketbell app, create a Source named IFTTT, choose Webhook, and set its Default Priority. Copy its URL.
  2. In your applet, add the action Webhooks → Make a web request:
    • URL: the Source’s URL, https://api.pocketbell.dev/v1/hooks/pbw_…
    • Method: POST
    • Content Type: text/plain
    • Body: the message, with ingredients from the trigger
  3. Save, and let the applet run.
  • The body becomes the notification’s message, and the Source’s name, IFTTT, its title. Nothing to set up in the app.
  • To word it differently, open the Source after the first event and set a title template. A body that is itself valid JSON is read as a JSON event, so its fields can be used too.
  • Each Source has one default priority. For applets that need a different one, make another webhook Source, or, when the body is JSON, set the priority from one of its fields (Webhooks).
