Foobot Knock knock. Webhooks Make a web request.

Send a web request (Webhook) when you double-tap your Foobot

Connect

How this automation works

Trigger a web request automatically when you double-tap your Foobot device. This Applet runs every time your Foobot detects a 'knock knock' gesture and sends the signal to your selected web endpoint. Ideal for triggering custom smart home actions or notifications through Webhooks integration. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).

Services used in this Applet

Create your own Webhooks and Foobot 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.

18 triggers, queries, and actions

CO₂ threshold is crossed

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 fires every time the humidity sensor value is above or below the threshold.

Knock knock

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.
