Firstly, thank you for creating this tool! I have been able to get v1.1.3 running using the detailed comments on some of the issues, and greatly appreciate the tips provided. I am able to use the GUI to add webhook events only for the "Automatic Triggers", namely Bluetooth is turned on, Bluetooth is turned off, and Battery drops below 20%. However:

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] I am unable to use the GUI to add webhook events based on items listed in the dropdown under the heading "macOS IFTTT events", namely, automator, ifttt, macrodroid, etc. Also, battery is missing in this dropdown, and I would like to create an event based on other battery levels (outside of the automatic trigger provided for battery level below 20%).

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen. I would appreciate any information on how to use the GUI (or the cli) to add events and related webhook triggers so I can invoke ifttt applets.

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. I have tried creating webhooks (at maker.ifttt.com) for these "non-automatic" events, but it is not clear how to specify the parameters in the GUI or in the webhook on IFTTT.

I have tried using the cli to specify the triggering events, but it is not clear how to do so.

I have looked for program files where GUI may be storing the added webhook events or triggers, so I might edit them manually, but have been unsuccessful.

Thanks in advance for sharing any tips that can help me get past this!
