For a few dollars a month this is barely worth the thought, but the answer is a clean yes. IFTTT applets are single-trigger, single-action, and a bot writes each one as a few lines and runs it on a cron on its own box. The one thing to check before you cancel is which of your applets touch smart home hardware - a bot can hit a cloud API for your lights just fine, but if an applet depends on IFTTT's local network integration with a specific device, that's a bridge you'd have to rebuild and probably shouldn't.
The prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
You have a computer, a browser and my logins. Replace my IFTTT applets. Keep it small - this is a few cron jobs, not a platform. Ask me to list my applets first. For each one: - Use the service's webhook if it has one, otherwise poll on the longest interval that still feels instant to me. - Write it as one small file. One applet, one file, no framework. - Log every fire: applet, time, outcome. One line each, in a file I can read. State: - SQLite for 'have I already handled this'. Every applet checks before it acts. Firing twice is the failure mode that will annoy me most. What to tell me: - If any of my applets need a smart home device on my local network rather than a cloud API, say so and stop. You are not on my network and can't do those. - If an applet depends on my phone's location or an NFC tag, same - you can't, and I should keep those on IFTTT or drop them. Running it: polling applets run as scheduled routines on your side; any applet that needs a webhook endpoint goes on a small host under my account (walk me through the signup · wait for me at the payment step). Message me if any applet has failed three runs in a row.
What you lose
- smart home integrations that talk to the device rather than its cloud API
- the phone app's location and NFC triggers
- applets somebody else keeps working when an API changes
- roughly the price of a coffee, monthly
The numbers
Pro is $2.99/mo for 20 applets, Pro+ $8.99 for unlimited. Free is capped at two applets, which is the whole business model.
