Activate a PowerView Scene by sending an email with a hashtag

How this automation works

Turn on a chosen PowerView Scene simply by sending an email with your selected hashtag in the subject line. Whenever the tagged email is sent, IFTTT triggers your specified PowerView Scene automatically. This is ideal for remotely adjusting window scenes while away or preparing your space before you arrive. Customize the email message to fit your tone.

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.
Send IFTTT an email at trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a hashtag in the subject (e.g. #IFTTT) and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment (up to 30MB) and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient.
