Enabling and disabling Applet run notifications

  • Updated

You can enable notifications for your Applets to stay informed when they run or when an error prevents them from running. These notifications are sent as push notifications from the IFTTT app, so the IFTTT app must be installed on your mobile device.

There are two steps to enable Applet notifications:

  1. Grant the notifications  permission for the IFTTT app on your device.
  2. Enable notifications on the Applet you want to receive updates for.
