<p dir="auto">It's a nice way to run commands on your computers via TRIGGERcmd, especially now that you can pass parameters to your commands.</p>
<p dir="auto">This example automatically opens any new Reddit posts about TRIGGERcmd in Chrome.</p>
<p dir="auto">Add this to your commands:<br />
<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/triggercmdagents/Pics/Stringify/Chrome_TRIGGERcmd_trigger.JPG" alt="Reddit TRIGGERcmd command" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">The full command will end up as:</p>
<pre><code>start chrome https://www.reddit.com/r/....
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">These are the steps to setup Stringify to open new Reddit posts about TRIGGERcmd in Chrome:</p>
<ul>
<li>Download the Stringify app to your phone and setup a Stringify account.</li>
<li>Under the Things tab, tap the +</li>
<li>Select "Add a new thing"</li>
<li>Select "Connect: Maker" and tap Connect</li>
<li>Select "Reddit" and tap Connect</li>
<li>Under the Flows tab, tap the +</li>
<li>Select "Create a new flow"</li>
<li>Tap the +</li>
<li>Select Reddit and Connect: Maker</li>
<li>Tap Add</li>
<li>Drag Reddit to the middle-left circle</li>
<li>Drag Connect: Maker to the middle-right circle</li>
<li>Drag Reddit to the right, on top of Connect: Maker (it should make a yellow connection)</li>
<li>Tap Reddit and select "New post from search"</li>
<li>Type in TRIGGERcmd and tap Save</li>
<li>Tap Connect: Maker and select "Send an HTTP POST"</li>
<li>Fill out the form like the screenshots below, and tap Save</li>
<li>Tap "Name your flow" at the top of the screen</li>
<li>Give your flow a name and tap DONE</li>
<li>Tap Enable Flow</li>
<li>Post on Reddit about TRIGGERcmd</li>
<li>Wait for your batch file to run with the Reddit post URL as a parameter.  (for me it took about 1 hour)</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">If you want a <strong>quick</strong> test, try connecting a Button up to your Connect: Maker.  It will give you instant results, but it won't pass a URL as a parameter like Reddit will.</p>
<p dir="auto">Another way to get immediate results is <a href="https://www.triggercmd.com/forum/topic/74/use-smartthings-stringify-and-triggercmd-to-log-when-your-doors-open">this example</a>.</p>
<p dir="auto">The TRIGGERcmd Stringify API URL format is like this:</p>
<pre><code>https://www.triggercmd.com/api/Stringify?trigger=Reddit&amp;computer=DS
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Tap the + to add a flow:<br />
<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/triggercmdagents/Pics/Stringify/Stringify_to_TRIGGERcmd_list.png" alt="Stringify to TRIGGERcmd list" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Add Reddit and Connect: Maker, and change the name:<br />
<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/triggercmdagents/Pics/Stringify/Reddit_to_TRIGGERcmd.png" alt="Reddit to TRIGGERcmd" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">The URL format is like this:</p>
<pre><code>https://www.triggercmd.com/api/Stringify?trigger=Reddit&amp;computer=DS
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Change Data to "Form data".</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/triggercmdagents/Pics/Stringify/Stringify_Connect_Maker_Chrome.png" alt="Stringify TRIGGERcmd api Chrome" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Fill in your token and params fields:</p>
<p dir="auto"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/triggercmdagents/Pics/Stringify/Stringify_TRIGGERcmd_token_params.png" alt="Stringify TRIGGERcmd token parameters" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Or if you want to also log the URL's to a file before opening them in Chrome, you could run a batch file like this instead of running Chrome directly:</p>
<pre><code>echo %1 &gt;&gt; d:\tools\reddit.log
start chrome %1
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">EDIT:  This article works as an example of how to use Stringify, but I found that Stringify keeps finding the same Reddit article every hour, so I ended up with a ton of Chrome browser tabs open to the same article.  I think when Chrome visits the article, it changes it (one additional view), so Stringify finds it again.</p>
