This action will send a webhook event to IFTTT based on triggered events from the event provider’s scheduled events.
This action applies to the following event triggers:
•EventStart, EventStop
•EventStartStop
•EventSetupStart, EventSetupStop
•EventSetupTeardown
•EventTeardownStart, EventTeardownStop
•ZoneFirstLastEventStartStop
•ZoneFirstLastSetupTeardown
After adding a new action in equipment manager, select one of the triggering events, along with the “Device Common” interface, followed by the “IftttStartStop” action.
Note: Only the event triggers shown can be used for IFTTT action. The action won’t be available if other event triggers are selected here.
