Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own Google Docs and Slack 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.
5 triggers, queries, and actions
New document added
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 document is added to a Google Drive folder. Note: only works for docs created after the Applet is turned on.
History of documents added
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 new documents were added to a Google Drive folder.
Append to a document
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 add to a Google document as determined by the file name and folder path you specify. Once a file’s size reaches 2MB a new file will be created.
