3 triggers, queries, and actions
Gesture with task matching ID occurs
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 if you tap a gesture with a custom IFTTT task matching the ID of this trigger.
History of a specific IFTTT task triggered by tap gestures
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 a specific IFTTT task was triggered by tap gestures.
Post to channel
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 the channel you choose in Slack.
