Automate your Agile Octopus integrations

Agile Octopus, in collaboration with IFTTT, helps you save on your energy bills by automating actions when energy prices are low. By setting triggers based on pricing and carbon intensity, you can optimize your energy use without lifting a finger.

Create your own Agile Octopus workflow

Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.

10 triggers, queries, and actions

Energy Import Prices Index Change With Carbon Intensity

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
Use this trigger to fire something when your electricity import price falls or rises past your set threshold and between your preferred time settings, also as optional condition you can match carbon intensity level for the periods

Energy Export Prices Change

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when the electricity export prices change based on user-defined conditions, such as price thresholds and specific time ranges.

Carbon Intensity Change

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when the carbon intensity changes based on user-defined conditions, such as intensity thresholds and specific time ranges. It uses live and forecasted carbon intensity data to evaluate and validate actions.

Energy Exported By Period

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when the energy exported during a specified period exceeds a user-defined threshold. Users can configure the period type (daily, weekly, or monthly) and set an export threshold.

Energy Consumed By Period

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when the energy consumed during a specified period exceeds a user-defined threshold. Users can configure the period type (daily, weekly, or monthly) and set a consumption threshold.

Energy Export Prices Published

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when new electricity export prices are published. It uses the published price data for a specified period to validate and perform actions.

Energy Import Prices Published

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when new electricity import prices are published. It uses published price data for a specified period to validate and perform actions.

Energy import price published

Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
Retrieves the electricity price for today based on the applicable import tariffs. The response includes pricing details for the current date, reflecting any time-based variations in the import rates.

Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
Retrieves the electricity price for today based on the applicable export tariffs. The response includes pricing details for the current date, considering variations in export rates throughout the day.
