Set up IFTTT MCP

Create your own Flapz and NPR 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.

The Trigger fires every time a new story is published on NPR in the selected category, program, or topic.
