How this automation works

Control your Slide by IIM curtains using a simple email command. This Applet opens your curtains automatically when you send an email to IFTTT with your chosen hashtag in the subject line. Perfect for hands-free smart home automation from anywhere you can send an email. Customize the message to fit your tone.

Send IFTTT an email at trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.
