On this page, you will learn how to use IFTTT, a cool application available if you click on this link !
IFTT is a very useful application, which helps you to connect two applications, website, devices connected to each other. This way, you can create all the interactions you need to help yourself in your daily life, at home, at work and even in your car.
Let me explain: The ITFF allows you to connect two things, and to produce something from this interaction, either a message (sms, email, notifications) or a tangible action (change in light color, starting an engine...)
I thought of a cool use of IFTT. Imagine, you receive dozens of mails each and every days. Some are urgent but get lost in the continuous flux of your day. How useful would it be to receive a sms every time an important email arrives in your mailbox ? Well in few steps you will make
FIRST STEPS
1. Create your account of ifttt
2. Browse "Webhooks" in the search bar
3. follow the steps, until you reach the webhooks documentation. Fill with your project name, then you will receive an email and you are up to go!
Then, go back to your own webpage.
You will need two librairies for your project:
1. jQuery to help you with your HTML and all your dynamic coding
2. Moments.js a very useful librairies to handle numbers
In the js part, do as you see on the following image.
take the first link with your unique code and paste it into your page
Then create your form (if you need help follow the steps on Moments.js, it's super easy!). Then you can create an applet in IFTTT that will automatically register the data of people who fill up the form into a google sheet ! And because you work in accounting and people will be serious about numbers, the Moments.js librairies will help you really well.
If you have followed all these steps properly, you will get an email everytime someone fill up a form on your page.
And that's it! For extra-help you can visit www.home-assistant.io to help you with you set up.
