Particle IFTTT activation fails

Cloud Integrations
1

I thought I’d try the IFTTT integration today: no luck. When I’m instructed to activate the Particle channel I’m redirected to the Particle site to authenticate. I enter my creds and I’m returned to the IFTTT site which just says that something went wrong. No details provided.

I have notified the team and hopefully it gets resolved asap.

Hey @mjmare,

Sorry about that! I was just able to reproduce and fix the issue, it was a problem with the renaming of our IFTTT channel and the OAuth setup. It should be working again now.

Thanks,
David

Hi, it’s August 29 and I get the same error: https://ifttt.com/channels/particle/activate_fail, “not connected”.

Could you help?

I’ll look into this. The easiest way to fix it now should be to “Reconnect Channel”. Previously I fixed this by making the IFTTT refresh tokens last longer, but I’ve since learned the IFTTT api expects the refresh tokens to never expire.

Thanks!
David

Thanks Dave,

I was connecting the channel for the first time, and it worked after you’ve applied the fix.

All the best!
