Create your own Slack and WIFIPLUG 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.
7 triggers, queries, and actions
      
        
          
          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 your WIFIPLUG is turned off.

          Query
