How this automation works
Control your Slide curtains automatically using a simple email command. This Applet runs when you send an email to IFTTT with a specific hashtag in the subject line, triggering your Slide device to close the curtains. Perfect for remotely managing your smart blinds via email, even when you're away. Customize the message to fit your tone.
