      I'm new to this so sorry for the silly question...

      If I want to run a trigger from IFTTT, for example, a trigger called "spotify" (which works when I trigger it from the web page manually), I then use this for the URL:

      https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=spotify

      and then later in the IFTTT webhook I set the body to:

      token=sdfhksdhfjkasdhfajksdfhajkhf.......... (whatever it is for my computer)

        @dfwjr1973, you're close, but you're missing the computer part of the URL.

        You have:
        https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=spotify

        But you need:
        https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=spotify&computer=YourComputerName

                  This works great when I create a normal IFTTT. I'm having trouble making it work when the IFTTT is created on the platform for private apps with a maker account. with this, you can make multiple steps or "that's" (think IFTTTTTTTTTT). Even if I just create one "that" in the private app, I get an "action failed" on the webhook with triggercmd.. "unable to make web request. Your server returned a 401"
                  any ideas or is this an issue with IFTTT?

                    @delkem, I'll give it a try. It should work the same way.

                    Method: POST
                    Content type: x-www-form-urlencoded
                    Body: token=(your token)

                    One problem I've had before was I had a space in the body field that I didn't notice. That could cause that error.

                          Hi,

                          Am super-lovin' this 🙂 🙂

                          However, and trying to configure an IFTTT Button Widget to kick-off a webhook to my PC (PC name R1) to run the Reboot in 10 seconds command, but keep getting 401 errors - please help.

                          Am at the webhooks config page in IFTTT and entering the following:

                          URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=reboot&computer=R1
                          METHOD: POST
                          CONTENT TYPE: x-www-form-urlencoded
                          BODY: token=XYZ&params=russ.txt

                          <obviously <XYZ> is my token 😉

                          What am I doing wrong please ?

                          Thanks so much,

                          Dan

                              FYI, for anyone reading, @triggercmddm got it working. He needed to change the trigger name from 'reboot' to 'Reboot in 10 seconds' and he needed to remove '&params=russ.txt' from the body.

                              URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Reboot in 10 seconds&computer=R1
                              BODY: token=XYZ

                                ...so just for the record and to complete the loop.
                                @Russ just IM'd me and resolved the issue.
                                Amazing service and phenomenal customer journey 🙂

                                In brief, to reboot/restart your Windows 10 PC from an iOS Home Screen button click, do the following:

                                1. Install TriggerCMD Agent
                                2. Sign up/in to IFTTT
                                3. For the If bit: select Button Widget
                                4. For the Then bit: select webhooks and enter the following:
                                  i. URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Reboot in 10 seconds&computer=R1
                                  ii. METHOD: POST
                                  iii. CONTENT TYPE: x-www-form-urlencoded
                                  iv. BODY: token=XYZ

                                Notes:
                                There are spaces in "Reboot in 10 seconds"
                                My computer name is "R1"
                                <obviously <XYZ> is my token

                                To add the button widget to your iOS home screen:

                                1. Tap the share icon (square with the up arrow)
                                2. Tap "Add to Home Screen"
                                3. Tap "Add"
                                4. Enjoy 🙂

                                  I know this is an old post, but I wanted to share what I intent to do in order to illustrate what can be done with a very practical example.
                                  I have a set of surveillance cameras. Some are indoor, some are outside. My associated software is iSpy. I also have a security system that only allows to get notifications via emails, as the Cie has its own proprietary surveillance system, at a different cost than mine (^_^). I want shut down the indoor and backyard cameras when I am in house, and turn them back on when I leave, or sleep, using the notification eMail. So, I plan on…

                                   Create 2 tasks conditions in IFTTT, for “Off” & “On”.
                                   Use <if><gmail> with proper filter on sender and subject), using respectively the words”Disarmed” & “Armed”.
                                   Use your method to trigger a batch commands to iSpy, that may look like this:
                                  URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=run ispy.exe "recordstop.alarmset"&computer=MyPC
                                  ... where alarmset is the set of cameras to stop in this case.
                                  I will keep you posted of the outcome.

                                    @rpondevie, good luck. That's a cool project. I suggest you make your IFTTT URL something like this:

                                    https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=ispy&computer=MyPC&params=recordstop.alarmset
                                    

                                    Then make a command with these values:

                                    • Trigger = ispy
                                    • Command = c:\program files\ispy\ispy.exe (probably a different path)
                                    • Allow Parameters = true

                                    Russell VanderMey

                                        @spotandjake-100, you can pass multiple parameters by separating them with a space, or a %20, so like this:

                                         https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=mouse&computer=LAPTOP-M0RN3NEB&params={{TextField}}%20{{NumberField}}

                                          does the IFTTT webhook method work with a free account or only with subscription?
                                          I tested with this comment without succes

                                          https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Notepad&computer=PC
                                          method = POST
                                          Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

                                          with PC being the name of my computer as registered in my profile.

                                            @koen-van-lent, it should work with a free account too, but only 1 per minute of course.

                                            Do you have token=(your token from Instructions page) in the body?
