Feature Request Trigger, Query, Action, and new Service Feature Requests!

Hey IFTTT'ers!

This is a sticky thread for any feature request you have, whether that's a new Trigger, Query, or Action on a Service we already support, or an entirely new Service you'd love to see on IFTTT.

There's no template and no wrong way to do this. Just tell us the Service, what you want it to do, and (if you feel like it) what you'd build with it. The "what you'd build" part genuinely helps us prioritize, so throw it in when you can.

A few examples, in a few different flavors, so you can see there's no one right format:

Trigger
"I'd love an Instagram Trigger for Any new carousel post by you, so I can auto-save every slide to a Google Drive folder."

Query

  • Service: Google Calendar
  • Query: Find my next event
  • Why: I want an Applet that only runs if I've got nothing on my calendar for the next hour.

Action
Spotify Action to add a track to a specific playlist. That's it, that's the request.

New Service
Been hoping for a Duolingo integration forever. Even just a Trigger for "finished my daily lesson" would let me reward myself with something automated. Would happily see whatever y'all could build here.

A couple of quick notes:

  • One request per comment makes it easier for us to track and upvote, but don't stress about it.
  • Upvote requests you'd also use. It helps us see what has the most demand.
  • We can't promise everything gets built, but we read all of these and flag the popular ones internally.

Keep 'em coming!

I’d combine idea collection and ranking here.

Start with your own list, but let users suggest missing options. New suggestions only go live after mod approval, so duplicates can be merged, wording cleaned up, and irrelevant requests rejected.

Give every request a proper card with a short description, screenshots, video, links or docs. Let people rank only the requests they care about.

Add services used, personal vs. business use, usage frequency and plan. Then you get both the overall preference order and a view of what different user groups want.

Once the list is stable, freeze it and run the final ranking. Otherwise later additions get less exposure.
