How this automation works

Send a custom Discord message instantly when your tagged Flic button is pressed. This Applet runs whenever a Flic associated with a specific tag is clicked, double-clicked, or held, posting your chosen update to a Discord channel. Ideal for teams or households wanting to share quick status updates or alerts directly from a physical button. Customize the message to fit your tone.

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.
You can create tags and give them to your Flics, so multiple Flics can be used with a single Recipe.
