Get startedCreate your own Octopus Energy ERCOT and Pushover 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
Energy Price
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.
Use this trigger to fire something when your energy price falls or rises past your set threshold such as $0.45/kWh and between your preferred time settings.
Realtime Energy Price
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.
Via this query, you have a possibility to know how much is real-time energy price now.
Send a Pushover notification

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.
