4 triggers, queries, and actions
New election announced
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 Google adds an upcoming election that covers the state you choose. Nationwide elections such as the general election are included for every state.
Find my polling place
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 voting locations for a US street address in the next upcoming election: polling places, early vote sites, or ballot drop-off locations, with hours and dates when available. Empty until Google has information for the address.
What's on my ballot
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 the contests and ballot measures for a US street address in the next upcoming election, in ballot order, with the candidates for each. Returns nothing when Google has no information yet for the address.
Post to channel
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 post a message to the channel you choose in Slack.
