How this automation works
Trigger Netlify deploys from tagged Email messages. This Applet runs when you send an Email to the IFTTT trigger address with the specified tag in the subject line and triggers a deploy for the Netlify site you select. It's useful for developers and teams who want to start builds without opening Netlify — ideal for quick previews, emergency fixes, or non-UI workflows using Email and Netlify.
