Automate Foobot and Wink: Shortcuts from your AI assistant
Ask ChatGPT to create Foobot applets that respond to air quality changes, right from your AI assistant, with IFTTT MCP.
Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own Foobot and Wink: Shortcuts 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.
13 triggers, queries, and actions
CO₂ threshold is crossed
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires every time the CO₂ (carbon dioxid) sensor value is above or below the threshold.
Humidity threshold is crossed
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires every time the humidity sensor value is above or below the threshold.
Knock knock
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires every time you double tap (knock knock) on your Foobot.
New air quality reading
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires when a new air quality reading is available.
PM threshold is crossed
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires every time the PM (particulate matter) sensor value is above or below the threshold.
Pollution is high
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires when global air pollution is higher than 50.
Temperature threshold is crossed
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires every time the temperature sensor value is above or below the threshold.
VOC threshold is crossed
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every hour on Free, every 15 minutes on Starter, and every 5 minutes on Pro and Pro+.
This Trigger fires every time the VOC (volatile organic compound) sensor value is above or below the threshold.
History of air quality readings
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 new air quality readings available.
History of humidity threshold is crossed
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 when the humidity sensor value was above or below the threshold. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
History of PM threshold was crossed
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 times when the PM (particulate matter) sensor value crossed a threshold. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
History of VOC threshold is crossed
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 when the VOC (volatile organic compound) sensor value was above or below the threshold. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
Activate shortcut
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 activate the shortcut you specify.
