New ifttt channel maker

[Danielo Rodríguez]

Check it out here:
https://ifttt.com/maker

It is able to make any post or get request and also receive them. So theorically everything is possible! Off course with the help of ifft API that connects hundreds of services

[Jeremy Ruston]

Thanks Danielo, I had missed that, and I think it's *huge*. Previously, IFTTT was a bit of a Silicon Valley walled garden, only allowing mainstream corporate services to be connected together. That was still pretty useful, but now that we can post arbitrary data, we can do some really interesting things with TiddlyWiki.

The system relies on secret keys that are unique to your account. We can re-use the existing password mechanism to store the secret key in the browser's LocalStorage so that it doesn't need to be embedded in the HTML file.

We need a startup daemon that listens for the `tm-ifttt` message. Message parameters would provide the event name, value1, value2 and value3 values that IFTTT supports. The handler would simply perform an HTTP POST of the parameters to a URL incorporating the secret key.

The kind of thing one could do would be:

* A commenting system whereby new comments appear as text files in your personal dropbox (one would need some code to harvest them and convert them to .tid files)

* An analytics tracker that logs user navigation to Dropbox

* Create a TiddlyWiki user interface to your home automation system (there's very good support for home automation)

I'm very happy to help and encourage anyone who is inspired to implement this,

Best wishes

Jeremy

Me too!!

Yes, I was also missing some more "custom" options.

Good to se that most of the work is done already. The thing is, how make the secret fetching easy for the user?

You seems to be very excited about this! Nice!

HI Danielo

Good to se that most of the work is done already. The thing is, how make the secret fetching easy for the user?

The user would set the secret with the <$password> widget:

<$password name="ifttt-secret"/>

And then JS can retrieve it with:

$tw.utils.getPassword("ifttt-secret")

 

You seems to be very excited about this! Nice! 

I'm kind of hoping that I can encourage someone to pick this up; I'm snowed under with 5.1.9, TiddlyFox and TiddlyDesktop right now.

Best wishes

I use and like IFTTT since the beginning or almost, so even if I can't contribute to code, I would love to test it one day :)

Some ideas for recipes

*If star or label gmail, then send to dropbox as .tid file

**label in gmail adds tag to .tid

*if gmail draft, create draft tiddler

This is a very old thread, except it is exactly what I was going to ask about.

Has anyone created a TiddlyWiki IFTTT integration and if so I would love to check it out.

Thank you very much.

I have several recipes that right txt files to dropbox. The files can get renamed to .tid files, and then read in as tids if properly constructed, generally one tiddler per file. Not nearly as fancy as Jeremy anticipated, but perhaps useful. //steve.

[RichShumaker]

Steve,

Cool and thanks.

I will see what I can do with that.

Right now my way is much more clunky.  I aggregate in Google and then copy and paste from Google to TiddlyWiki.

I use DO Note by the IFTTT team.  DO Note allows me to create a quick note that is sent to a Google Sheet.

My goal would be to create a note and when I get 'online' it would beam back to my main TW.

Day to day I don't use TW for quick notes on the go.

Maybe I can explore using TW on the go as an option as well.

Another thing I was exploring for a while was node-RED - http://nodered.org/ as an option.

Thanks again everyone.

Found this old thread while searching for something else, but I am wondering if anyone is using IFTTT to populate TiddlyWikis? Given that it will write to google sheets, perhaps the xlsx importer (which I just wrote about here)  will make a two-click or one-click operation to import events as tiddlers? //steve.

[Jed Carty]

If you make an ifttt thing to push data into google sheets you can access that directly from tiddlywiki to make tiddlers.

I did make a widget that lets you import directly from google sheets as part of some tools for twederation. The twederation version is here https://github.com/inmysocks/TW5-TWederation/blob/master/TWederation-listing/javascript/action-getdata.js

I may have made a more generic version of it but I am at work right now and I am not sure where I put the code for it. I will try and check sometime later.
