This trigger fires when a game on the connected player's Steam wishlist goes on sale.
Get my Steam profile
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 the connected player's public Steam profile summary — persona name, profile URL, avatar, and current online or in-game status — so applets can stamp the player's identity or current activity onto downstream actions.
Get my wishlist
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 the games on the connected player's Steam wishlist, each enriched with its current store price and discount, so an applet can list or act on what the player wants to buy on demand. Requires your Steam wishlist to be public.
Get owned games
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 the connected player's Steam library — owned games with lifetime playtime, most-played first — so applets can act on the whole collection, not just recently-played titles. Requires public Steam game details.
Get recent playtime
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 the connected player's recently-played Steam games and their playtime over the last two weeks, sorted by 2-week playtime descending (up to 10 games).
Look up a game
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 looks up Steam store details for a game by its Steam app ID: name, store page, current price and any discount, release date, developer, publisher, genres, and review signals. Pair it with any step that emits a Steam app ID.
Post a message to a 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 specify.
