How this automation works

Control your LIFX and Nanoleaf lights automatically with a Webhook trigger. This Applet runs when your Webhook event fires, activating scenes or light movements to match your setup. Perfect for streamers, automated lighting, or event-based effects using Webhooks and smart lighting. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).

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)
