How this automation works

Get instant alerts and smart home responses when your Webhook event fires. This Applet sends a notification from the IFTTT app, turns on a TP-Link Kasa device, sends you an email, and makes an Alexa Voice Monkey announcement whenever your Webhook event is triggered. Perfect for monitoring in-stock alerts or other automated updates in real time. Note: This requires installation of the IFTTT app and a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
