How to edit a Trigger/Query ingredient for use in an Action field – IFTTT Help Center

Triggers and Queries contain ingredients – individual pieces of data.

Some example ingredients from the Twitter - New tweet by you Trigger:

Text – The text of the tweet itself
UserName – User name of the tweeter
LinkToTweet – The URL of the tweet
CreatedAt – Date and time the tweet was created
TweetEmbedCode – The HTML embed code for the tweet

Normally, these are used directly in Action fields:

However, if we want to make changes to an ingredient, we can do so with filter code.

For example, to switch the LinkToTweet ingredient from a twitter.com URL to a vxtwitter.com URL, we can use the below filter code:

var link = Twitter.newTweetByYou.LinkToTweet;
var vxLink = link.replace('twitter.com','vxtwitter.com');

Discord.postMessageToChannel.setMessage(vxLink);

This code adds 'vx' to the start of the LinkToTweet ingredient before setting the Discord - Post a message to a channel Action's Message field to the updated URL.
