How this automation works

Add follow-up instructions to a Cursor agent with a single Button widget press. When you press the Button widget, this Applet sends your follow-up text to the selected Cursor agent and starts a new run guided by that instruction. Great for developers and teams who need to quickly iterate or steer an active Cursor agent during testing, demos, or field work using IFTTT. Note: Install the IFTTT app and add the widget to your home screen.
