          This works great when I create a normal IFTTT. I'm having trouble making it work when the IFTTT is created on the platform for private apps with a maker account. with this, you can make multiple steps or "that's" (think IFTTTTTTTTTT). Even if I just create one "that" in the private app, I get an "action failed" on the webhook with triggercmd.. "unable to make web request. Your server returned a 401"
          any ideas or is this an issue with IFTTT?

            @delkem, I'll give it a try. It should work the same way.

            Method: POST
            Content type: x-www-form-urlencoded
            Body: token=(your token)

            One problem I've had before was I had a space in the body field that I didn't notice. That could cause that error.

                  Hi,

                  Am super-lovin' this ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ™‚

                  However, and trying to configure an IFTTT Button Widget to kick-off a webhook to my PC (PC name R1) to run the Reboot in 10 seconds command, but keep getting 401 errors - please help.

                  Am at the webhooks config page in IFTTT and entering the following:

                  URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=reboot&computer=R1
                  METHOD: POST
                  CONTENT TYPE: x-www-form-urlencoded
                  BODY: token=XYZ&params=russ.txt

                  <obviously <XYZ> is my token ๐Ÿ˜‰

                  What am I doing wrong please ?

                  Thanks so much,

                  Dan

                      FYI, for anyone reading, @triggercmddm got it working. He needed to change the trigger name from 'reboot' to 'Reboot in 10 seconds' and he needed to remove '&params=russ.txt' from the body.

                      URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Reboot in 10 seconds&computer=R1
                      BODY: token=XYZ

                        ...so just for the record and to complete the loop.
                        @Russ just IM'd me and resolved the issue.
                        Amazing service and phenomenal customer journey ๐Ÿ™‚

                        In brief, to reboot/restart your Windows 10 PC from an iOS Home Screen button click, do the following:

                        1. Install TriggerCMD Agent
                        2. Sign up/in to IFTTT
                        3. For the If bit: select Button Widget
                        4. For the Then bit: select webhooks and enter the following:
                          i. URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Reboot in 10 seconds&computer=R1
                          ii. METHOD: POST
                          iii. CONTENT TYPE: x-www-form-urlencoded
                          iv. BODY: token=XYZ

                        Notes:
                        There are spaces in "Reboot in 10 seconds"
                        My computer name is "R1"
                        <obviously <XYZ> is my token

                        To add the button widget to your iOS home screen:

                        1. Tap the share icon (square with the up arrow)
                        2. Tap "Add to Home Screen"
                        3. Tap "Add"
                        4. Enjoy ๐Ÿ™‚

                          I know this is an old post, but I wanted to share what I intent to do in order to illustrate what can be done with a very practical example.
                          I have a set of surveillance cameras. Some are indoor, some are outside. My associated software is iSpy. I also have a security system that only allows to get notifications via emails, as the Cie has its own proprietary surveillance system, at a different cost than mine (^_^). I want shut down the indoor and backyard cameras when I am in house, and turn them back on when I leave, or sleep, using the notification eMail. So, I plan onโ€ฆ

                          ๏ฎ Create 2 tasks conditions in IFTTT, for โ€œOffโ€ & โ€œOnโ€.
                          ๏ฎ Use <if><gmail> with proper filter on sender and subject), using respectively the wordsโ€Disarmedโ€ & โ€œArmedโ€.
                          ๏ฎ Use your method to trigger a batch commands to iSpy, that may look like this:
                          URL: https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=run ispy.exe "recordstop.alarmset"&computer=MyPC
                          ... where alarmset is the set of cameras to stop in this case.
                          I will keep you posted of the outcome.

                            @rpondevie, good luck. That's a cool project. I suggest you make your IFTTT URL something like this:

                            https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=ispy&computer=MyPC&params=recordstop.alarmset
                            

                            Then make a command with these values:

                            • Trigger = ispy
                            • Command = c:\program files\ispy\ispy.exe (probably a different path)
                            • Allow Parameters = true

                                @spotandjake-100, you can pass multiple parameters by separating them with a space, or a %20, so like this:

                                 https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=mouse&computer=LAPTOP-M0RN3NEB&params={{TextField}}%20{{NumberField}}

                                  does the IFTTT webhook method work with a free account or only with subscription?
                                  I tested with this comment without succes

                                  https://www.triggercmd.com/api/IFTTT?trigger=Notepad&computer=PC
                                  method = POST
                                  Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

                                  with PC being the name of my computer as registered in my profile.

                                    @koen-van-lent, it should work with a free account too, but only 1 per minute of course.

                                    Do you have token=(your token from Instructions page) in the body?
