Hi- having intermittent and unreliable integration into IFTTT applet, anyone else experiencing lost Particle events on IFTTT? (Particle portal shows published events, IFTTT not triggering _most_ of the time (despite waiting, manually triggering, repeating Particle publishing, etc.- on “free” plan but not throttled / overusing; there was previous mention 9/2021 of Particle IFTTT integration having issues…) ???

hi @lkobayashi

is this the first time you use IFTTT? I have done a few tests with them, and even purchased the PRO tier. however, I still find the service ‘irregular’, since it does not commit to fixed polling times, it doesn’t have the ability to schedule polls, etc.

I don’t have an answer for your specific question, but in general I would not use it for critical applications

good luck, and welcome to the forum!

Thank you @romuloescamilla, it’s very disappointing to see IFTTT perform unreliably (I’ve repeatedly tried manual/forced polling as well as disconnect/connect over the past few days, none of the maneuvers seem to do anything; Particle device publishes just seem to disappear into the ether either on the way into or inside IFTTT…)

I’ve been using MS Azure IoT Hub\* for several months (it basically works. every. single. time.) but was looking for alternatives… will try ThingSpeak next… thank you!
