BeoLiving Intelligence is now capable of firing IFTTT applets in a really simple way through its own driver. The driver can be found in the external drivers list (Tools–> Advanced–>Install External Drivers).
Basically, BeoLiving Intelligence will trigger your Applet by sending a POST HTTP request to an specific URL. Depending on the selected trigger, a body message will be needed or not.

- Choose Webhooks as a service (the one that will trigger your Applet).
- Select “Receive a web request” as a trigger.
- Set an “Event name” that will identify your trigger.
- Select the action of your Applet. Depending on the action selected, a body on the POST can be sent by BeoLiving Intelligence.
- To know the Key needed to fire your Applets its necessary to visit the IFTTT Webhook documentation and go to “Documentation”.
