§1 Introduction

Welcome to the developer documentation of the project of team IFTTT-CM about certain actions of CM, these actions have been published onto the IFTTT platform. There is also a proxy API that is deployed on Heroku. The goal is to deploy your own API on Heroku, where the data that is received from an IFTTT applet and API, will be redirected to CM, via your own API proxy.

Via your own API proxy and IFTTT applet, it is possible to publish new actions, since the CM actions that are currently published by the IFTTT-CM team are the following three actions:

• Sending an SMS
• Sending a voice call
• Sending a payment link

For configuring your own API and an IFTTT applet, you will need the to sign up for an account on the website of CM. After signing up, you will receive an unique token, this token is necessary for developing and maintaining certain CM applets that you can develop and publish on the IFTTT platform.

It is also required to have an account on the IFTTT website, you can easily sign up on their website.

§2 IFTTT

If This Then That is a platform where users are able to configure own triggers, if a trigger is valid, a certain action will be performed by the platform. The actions and triggers can be configured by both users and developers of companies. However, developing certain actions will often require more information from a developer of a company, since there is a lot of information that needs to be processed in order to publish an IFTTT applet.

As mentioned in section 1, make sure that you have successfully signed up for an account on IFTTT, so that you are able to publish your applet on their website.
