Create your own Notifications and Google Civic Information workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
6 triggers, queries, and actions
New election announced
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when Google adds an upcoming election that covers the state you choose. Nationwide elections such as the general election are included for every state.
Find my polling place
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns voting locations for a US street address in the next upcoming election: polling places, early vote sites, or ballot drop-off locations, with hours and dates when available. Empty until Google has information for the address.
What's on my ballot
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns the contests and ballot measures for a US street address in the next upcoming election, in ballot order, with the candidates for each. Returns nothing when Google has no information yet for the address.
