What is the Webhooks service?
The Webhooks service allows you to integrate other services on IFTTT with your DIY projects via simple web requests.
Can I publish an Applet with Webhooks?
No, Webhooks is for personal use only.
What if I want to build a service on IFTTT?
If you're interested in building a service on IFTTT, visit the platform and become a partner.
Is there a fixed range of IP addresses for Webhooks?
No, IFTTT does not set a fixed IP or range of IPs for Webhooks or any other services.
Where do I find my URL key?
If you are looking for your URL key to create a Webhook Applet with, you can find it under the Documentation link in the top right of the Webhooks service page.
How do I pass values to Webhooks?
You can pass up to 3 values to the Webhook trigger Receive a web request by optionally using either a JSON body:
{ "value1" : "", "value2" : "", "value3" : "" }
or by using x-www-form-urlencoded data:
https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/name/with/key/your_key?value1=value1&value2=value2&value3=value3
The trigger Receive a web request with a JSON payload will accept any JSON which should be sent with the header Content-Type: application/json:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"this":[{"is":{"some":["test","data"]}}]}' http://maker.ifttt.me/trigger/{event}/json/with/key/my-key
How do I add custom headers to my Webhook action?
The action Make a web request has an optional field for adding custom headers to the request. Any custom header is acceptable except Content-Type which is set in the Content type field.
An example of how the custom headers field might look:
From: biffmcifttt@example.com
Some-Header: someCustomValue; someOtherValue
Warning: Over 9000
The Mozilla Developer Network has a list of standard HTTP headers, but any key/value pairs will work in the Additional Headers field.
Can I use IPv6 addresses in the URL field?
You sure can! IPv6 addresses should conform to certain standards:
- Like any other URL they must start with a protocol (http:// or https://)
- The IPv6 address itself must be [surrounded by brackets].
- Like any other URL they can include a port (:1234) and a pathname (/my/awesome/path).
Examples of valid IPv6 URLs:
http://[FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210]:80/index.html https://[1080:0:0:0:8:800:200C:417A]/index.html http://[3ffe:2a00:100:7031::1]
How do I get support for Webhooks?
Because the projects made with Webhooks are so unique, we’re unable to offer technical support for those Applets. If you're having trouble we recommend that you join the IFTTT communities on Reddit and Hackster.io. They are large and engaged communities where users can connect with each other to get help with their projects and troubleshoot issues together.
For outbound webhooks, you can also check our help page Troubleshooting outbound webhooks.
