Start music playback with a button tap
How this automation works
A check-in you cannot forget. Put the IFTTT button widget on your Home Screen and one tap pings the Notify! beacon you choose, so Notify! knows you are fine and can raise the alarm if the tap never comes.

Create your own Button widget and Notify! 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.
12 triggers, queries, and actions
Button press
Realtime 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.
