IFTTT is a free web-based service that stands for “If That Then That”.
Using this service, you can trigger an event when a specific condition has been met.
A basic example of this could be that If a motion is detected, then send a notification to your phone.
In this guide, we will be showing you how to connect to IFTTT, set up a webhook within it, and how to trigger it from your Raspberry Pi.

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to automate your garage door using nothing more than a Raspberry Pi and IFTTT.

The exciting thing about IFTTT is the sheer number of services you can use as either triggers (THIS) or actions (THAT). There are hundreds to make use of including Google Drive, Pushbullet and Android Wear. There are even niche services which can link to your smart washing machine, Dominos Pizza, BMW and Tesco shopping!

Now imagine if we could combine the power of IFTTT with the Raspberry Pi?

Considering the flexibility of Python, the power of the GPIO, and the huge range of sensors, components and inputs we can attach to it - the possibilities are truly endless!
