CoRE - Get peer assistance here with setting up Pistons

Open the dashboard in a web browser. Copy the url, removing the /dashboard end.

At this point go to IFTTT’s Maker channel (action). You have two options:

  1. Use an IFTTT trigger - append /ifttt/[eventName] to the URI copied above and use that in Maker. POST request with JSON content type. Replace [eventName] with an expressionof your choice. You can add ingredients of the if event into the Maker request body, CoRE can import those into variables. In CoRE, create a piston and use a trigger for IFTTT capability. You will need to enter the same [eventName] you used above. If in expert mode, you can also choose to Import event data - this will bring data from IFTTT into CoRE.

  2. Use the URI copied above followed by /execute/[pistonName] where [pistonName] is the name of the piston. You may have to encode the name to fit HTTP requirements (ie space becomes %20, etc). This will simply execute the desired piston. Option 1 is better as it allows you full control of the execution.
