Automate your tecla integrations

Tecla allows individuals with limited upper-body mobility to control their smart devices hands-free. By integrating with IFTTT, users can create automations that enhance their everyday life, such as managing smart plugs and logging activities effortlessly using switches or buttons.

Create your own tecla 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.

3 triggers, queries, and actions

App button pressed

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 when an IF button is pressed on the tecla app remote.

Switch action on tecla-e

Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires when a configured switch action is activated on a tecla-e.

History of app button presses

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 when an IF button was pressed on the tecla app remote.
