14 triggers, queries, and actions
Carbon Intensity Change
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when the carbon intensity changes based on user-defined conditions, such as intensity thresholds and specific time ranges. It uses live and forecasted carbon intensity data to evaluate and validate actions.
Energy Consumed By Period
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when the energy consumed during a specified period exceeds a user-defined threshold. Users can configure the period type (daily, weekly, or monthly) and set a consumption threshold.
Energy Export Periods
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when new export electricity rates are published and match your selected condition — for example, the 5 lowest or highest price periods. Rates are based on data from 11:00 to 11:00 London time.

Energy Import Prices Published
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger activates when new electricity import prices are published. It uses published price data for a specified period to validate and perform actions.
Energy export price published
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
Retrieves the electricity price for today based on the applicable export tariffs. The response includes pricing details for the current date, considering variations in export rates throughout the day.

Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
Retrieves the electricity price for today based on the applicable import tariffs. The response includes pricing details for the current date, reflecting any time-based variations in the import rates.
Send an email
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This Action will send an email to up to twenty recipients from your Gmail account.
