Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own NPR and Phone Call (US only) 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.
4 triggers, queries, and actions
Leave IFTTT any voicemail
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 every time you leave any voicemail at your IFTTT phone number.
New story published
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.
The Trigger fires every time a new story is published on NPR in the selected category, program, or topic.
History of story published
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 stories published on NPR in the selected category, program, or topic.
Call my phone
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 call your phone number and say a message.
