How this automation works

Automatically place a stock market order with Alpaca whenever you send an email tagged with your chosen hashtag. This Applet runs when you email trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a specific tag in the subject line, triggering a new day market order. Ideal for traders who want to execute quick trades via email commands. Customize the message to fit your tone.

Send IFTTT an email at trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.
