Setup your IFTTT Applet trigger to accept the webhook service.

At the same time you need to note your webhook key which can be found in the documentation.

Use the link below ( when logged into your IFTTT Account)

This webhook API Key is used to authenticate the driver to your IFTTT applet.

For each applet you can define a unique Event Name this event name is used by the driver to define which applet you want to trigger.

Then

After that the possibilities are endless!
