How this automation works

Trigger your smart home to react to your emails effortlessly. When you send any email to your IFTTT trigger address, your Nanoleaf lights will flash and Sonos will start playing a selected favorite. Perfect for creating mood lighting and music scenes automatically when specific messages are sent. Customize the message to fit your tone. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
