Automate Caltrain and Vestaboard from your AI assistant
Ask Claude to create Caltrain applets that notify you of new updates, right from your AI assistant, with IFTTT MCP.
Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own Caltrain and Vestaboard workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
3 triggers, queries, and actions
New update
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 fires when there's a new update from Caltrain.
History of updates
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.
This query returns a list of updates from Caltrain.
Post to Vestaboard
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 post a message to your Vestaboard.
