How this automation works

Stay informed the moment you earn Steam achievements. This Applet runs when your connected Steam account unlocks a new achievement and sends a push notification from the IFTTT app to your devices. It's useful for gamers who want instant alerts for in-game milestones, streaming highlights, or tracking progress across games using Steam and IFTTT. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
