Send a Gmail email when you double tap your Foobot
1 ready-made Foobot and Gmail Applets
Turn one on, or build your own. Foobot can start an automation with "CO₂ threshold is crossed", and IFTTT can then run "Add label to email" on Gmail.
Automate Foobot and Gmail from your AI assistant
Ask ChatGPT to create Foobot applets that respond to air quality changes, right from your AI assistant, with IFTTT MCP.
