Automate Foobot and IoT Podcast from your AI assistant
Ask ChatGPT to create Foobot applets that respond to air quality changes, right from your AI assistant, with IFTTT MCP.
Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own Foobot and IoT Podcast 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.
16 triggers, queries, and actions
CO₂ threshold is crossed
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 the CO₂ (carbon dioxid) sensor value is above or below the threshold.
Humidity threshold is crossed
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 the humidity sensor value is above or below the threshold.
Knock knock
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 you double tap (knock knock) on your Foobot.
