How this automation works

Automatically update an Apilio variable when you send an email with your chosen tag to IFTTT. This Applet runs whenever an email tagged with your specified hashtag is sent to trigger@applet.ifttt.com, setting the selected variable in Apilio to true. Ideal for automating logic triggers or routines via simple tagged emails. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to send emails.
