Requires familiarity with Go web handlers and registering your service with IFTTT's developer platform.
This is a Go package that helps you build a custom IFTTT service. IFTTT (short for "If This Then That") is a platform that lets everyday users connect different apps and devices together so that something happening in one place automatically triggers an action somewhere else, like "if I get an email with an attachment, save it to Dropbox." Normally, creating your own IFTTT service so that other people can connect your app into their automated workflows is a fairly involved process. This package makes it easier by letting a developer set one up much like they would register any standard web endpoint. At a technical level, IFTTT exposes an API that third-party services must implement to participate in the platform. This package wraps that API, handling the plumbing so a developer can focus on defining what their service does rather than worrying about the specifics of IFTTT's protocol. The README describes it as being as straightforward as registering an HTTP handler, which is a common, familiar pattern for anyone who has built web applications in Go. Someone who would use this is a developer building an app or platform that wants to be available as an integration on IFTTT. For instance, the README links to an example project called IFTTT-Netease, which connects NetEase (a Chinese music and internet service) to IFTTT. If you run a smart-home product, a publishing platform, or any service where users might benefit from connecting your product to hundreds of other tools automatically, this package gives you a shortcut to get there. The project is still in an early stage, and the README warns that the interface may change without notice. It is written in Go and is clearly aimed at developers already comfortable with that language, though the README itself is quite brief and does not go into deeper detail about setup, configuration, or limitations.
