How this automation works

Stream audio on your Sonos speakers automatically by sending an email to IFTTT. This Applet runs when you send any email to trigger@applet.ifttt.com and uses any included attachment or stream link to start playing on your chosen Sonos room. Perfect for controlling Sonos hands-free or sharing music links instantly from anywhere. Customize the message to fit your tone.
