Hi @mohitagnihotri,

Good question! Sorry about the delay on that, I passed your message onto the team and hopefully they’ll respond here sometime early next week.

Thanks!

Hi @mohitagnihotri!

The two ways a :particle: powered product could use IFTTT right now are:

  1. Use 3-legged, “Login with Particle” OAuth to allow the end customer to set up IFTTT using the Particle channel, or
  2. As a product creator you get your own IFTTT channel and use 2-legged auth with Particle white-labeled behind the scenes.

The feature @dave was talking about is not released or documented yet. We don’t want to circumvent IFTTT’s business model as they’re a valued partner, but if we can provide a way to use your own IFTTT channel with Particle’s servers so you don’t have to deploy and maintain your own server for IFTTT, we think product creators would find that super exciting and valuable.

Make sense?

Cheers!
Zachary

Hi @zachary!

Thank you for prompt response.

Now, I can understand the scenario. I used two-legged authentication and for IFTTT channel, point 2 make sense for me. Perhaps, it would be great.

Regards,
Mohit

How did you get on here? Did you end up creating your own IFTTT channel?

Sorry to RES an old thread, but I believe this is the most appropriate thread for this request.

I am interested in providing IFTTT integration for my custom device. I currently have a test device which is owned by my own personal test “customer email account”, rather than my own particle product’s admin account.

I was not able to figure out a way to achieve this. What is the simplest method I can use, when I created an account for my “customer” owned device using the same email address as listed as the owner under the products device detail page, I was able to login with the customer account, but his account did not show any devices.
