IFTTT app #7352

Open BNolet opened 6 years ago

BNolet commented 6 years ago

Is it possible for Mastodon to get an IFTTT app/plugin/hook/whathaveyou? It'd be nice if I could set up some auto-posting from my blog or send out a toot using Google Assistant, etc.

In order to enable this a change would have to be made to the way that Mastodon handles the sharing of images via toot, otherwise it would be restricted to text-only toots. That's fine for a start but I'd love to be able to share posts from my blog directly to mastodon with an image, automagically.

I think in this case maybe you need to reach out to IFTTT rather than Mastodon?

(we've reached out to them in the past, so maybe if more and other people do it too they can help)

I don't know if we can create similar strings as to twitter for "premaking" a message to post etc.

As far as I'm aware, as per this page, the endpoints need to be created on the Mastodon side of things and IFTTT will communicate with the Masto instance when an applet using the Mastodon IFTTT service is triggered.

None of the endpoint code resides on IFTTT's servers.

It would be also nice to have a Zapier app (IFTTT alternative). The steps to create one is explained here.

I'm starting to code a Zapier app, I will let some news here. :)

Well, I've given up, but if anybody is interested it could be really nice to continue the development! :crossed_fingers:

Thanks ! How can we used your MastoZap. It doesn't exist on Zapier library.

This is not finished yet and it seems that I'm not going to continue. The project needs a new developer. :)

For a quick workaround for posting images with caption from IFTTT to Mastodon in a single step, see this AWS Lambda function: https://github.com/michaelkleinhenz/mastodon-post
