    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 🙂 🙂

            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 😉

            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 🙂

                  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 🙂

                    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 on…

                     Create 2 tasks conditions in IFTTT, for “Off” & “On”.
                     Use <if><gmail> with proper filter on sender and subject), using respectively the words”Disarmed” & “Armed”.
                     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?
