Create your own Gmail and Agile Octopus 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.
34 triggers, queries, and actions
Carbon Intensity Change
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 activates when the carbon intensity changes based on user-defined conditions, such as intensity thresholds and specific time ranges. It uses live and forecasted carbon intensity data to evaluate and validate actions.
Energy Consumed By Period
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 activates when the energy consumed during a specified period exceeds a user-defined threshold. Users can configure the period type (daily, weekly, or monthly) and set a consumption threshold.
Energy Export Periods
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 activates when new export electricity rates are published and match your selected condition — for example, the 5 lowest or highest price periods. Rates are based on data from 11:00 to 11:00 London time.

New attachment
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires every time a new email with an attachment arrives in your inbox.

This trigger fires when a conversation starts in your Gmail inbox: a message gets its first reply and a back-and-forth begins. It fires once per conversation, not on every reply.
Energy export price published
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.
Retrieves the electricity price for today based on the applicable export tariffs. The response includes pricing details for the current date, considering variations in export rates throughout the day.
