5 triggers, queries, and actions
Door opened or closed
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires every time a garage door you manage is opened or closed via the Garageio website or smartphone app.
Door Open State
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of recent events when a garage door you manage was opened or closed via the Garageio website or smartphone app.
Close garage door
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This Action will close the garage door you specify. If the garage door is already closed, the door will remain closed.
