How this automation works

Receive immediate notifications for new Bluesky posts that match your custom search. The Applet runs whenever a new post matches your Bluesky search query and sends a notification from the IFTTT app to your device. This is ideal for monitoring mentions, replies, hashtags, or links on Bluesky so community managers, reporters, and power users can respond faster with IFTTT app alerts. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
