Update Apilio string variable from a Webhook event

Connect

How this automation works

Automatically update an Apilio string variable whenever a Webhook event is received. The Applet runs when your Webhooks service receives an event with optional data fields. Ideal for users who want to sync real-time data or external triggers into logic flows managed in Apilio. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).

Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires every time the Maker service receives a web request to notify it of an event. For information on triggering events, go to your Maker service settings and then the listed URL (web) or tap your username (mobile)
