Create your own Family Handyman and Langolink Lock (China) workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
4 triggers, queries, and actions
Lock state changed
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when the lock state was changed. For example, when the door lock is opened, it triggers sending an email to you, or it triggers turning on the light in your hallway.
