Create your own Foobot and It's Been a Minute 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.
13 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 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
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 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
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 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This Trigger fires every time you double tap (knock knock) on your Foobot.
New air quality reading
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 a new air quality reading is available.

This Trigger fires every time the VOC (volatile organic compound) sensor value is above or below the threshold.
History of air quality readings
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 new air quality readings available.
History of humidity threshold is crossed
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 when the humidity sensor value was above or below the threshold. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
History of PM threshold was crossed
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 times when the PM (particulate matter) sensor value crossed a threshold. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
