TTTFI
Middleware for IFTTT.
Usage
TTTFI picks up data from IFTTT webhook, pass data through scripts and send output of script back to IFTTT.
STEP1 Prepare scripts:
Let's write a simple hello world in shell (you can find that in samples folder).
#!/bin/sh
# Read body from stdin
read NAME
# Print response to IFTTT
cat << EOF
{"value1": "Hello, $NAME!"}
EOF
STEP2 Run docker image:
docker run -e API_KEY=<your-ifttt-key> \
-e SECRET_TOKEN=<secret-token> \
-v `pwd`/samples:/opt/bin \
-p 3001:3001 \
--name tttfi \
kamikat/tttfi
NOTE: Pick up a random string as your SECRET_TOKEN.
STEP3 Setup trigger:
- Create a webhook trigger https://ifttt.com/create/if-maker_webhooks?sid=1
- Set Event Name to
hello(name of the script) - Choose any action service
- Click Add ingredient and select
Value1on any field of the service that supports it
Test your configuration by sending some data using curl
echo 'world', curl -XPOST -d- https://your-domain.com/hello/secret/<secret-token>
STEP4 Setup action:
- Create trigger with any service https://ifttt.com/create (Telegram for example)
- Choose Webhooks service to create an action
- Set the url (for example
https://your-domain.com/hello/secret/<secret-token>) - Set Method to
POSTand Content Type totext/plain(thehelloevent requires simple text) - Add any ingredient to body
Scripting with Python/Perl/Go...
Scripts written in python or other platform can failed to start because they're not installed in container.
Add required package after start the container:
docker exec tttfi apk --no-cache add <package-name>
Or run tttfi natively (see next section)
Native server
TTTFI can run natively on *nix with ES6 compatible Node.js.
npm install -g tttfi
Run TTTFI:
PATH=<path-to-scripts>:$PATH API_KEY=<your-ifttt-key> SECRET_TOKEN=<secret-token> tttfi
Be careful that it executes ANYTHING in your $PATH with correct secret token.
