Set up Getwello with IFTTT

IFTTT applets fire when our webhook arrives. From there, pick any of IFTTT's many actions: Alexa announcements, Philips Hue, SMS, Sheets, anything in their catalogue.

What you need

• An IFTTT account. Free for up to two applets; IFTTT Pro from £2.50/month for unlimited.
• A Getwello Coordinator account with active subscription.
• 5 minutes.

Step 1: Find your IFTTT Webhooks URL

1. In IFTTT, search the Services page for “Webhooks”. Connect the service.
2. Click Documentation in the Webhooks service. Note the URL format and your key.
3. Pick an event name (e.g. getwello_check_in). Your trigger URL is https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/getwello_check_in/with/key/<your-key>.

Step 2: Create the applet

1. Click Create. If This Then That → If → Webhooks → Receive a web request.
2. Event name: getwello_check_in (must match exactly).
3. Then That: pick your action (Alexa, Hue, Sheets, etc.). Configure it.
4. Save.

Step 3: Create the Getwello webhook subscription

Settings → Developer API → Webhooks. URL is the IFTTT trigger URL from Step 1. Tick the events you want.

Test

Click Test on Getwello. The IFTTT applet fires within a few seconds. Check the action log in IFTTT to confirm.

Troubleshooting

Applet doesn't fire: the event name in IFTTT must exactly match the path in the trigger URL. Case-sensitive.

Too slow: IFTTT can take 10-30 seconds to fire actions. For real-time, use Zapier, Make or a self-hosted route.
