        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

                  @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?
