Frequently Asked Questions
The IFTTT free plan allows you to run up to 3 active Applets simultaneously. If you create more than 3, the oldest ones will be automatically disabled until you either upgrade to a Pro plan or manually disable newer Applets to stay within the limit.
IFTTT's polling time for Instagram and Dropbox can vary, but it generally checks for new photos every few hours. Unfortunately, there isn't a built-in function to manually trigger an Applet to run immediately. The execution relies on IFTTT's scheduled checks with the connected services.
While IFTTT offers powerful automation capabilities, the free plan doesn't natively support multiple 'If This' conditions within a single Applet. To achieve complex logic like that, you would need to explore the Pro plan, which offers Filter code and Queries for advanced customization to define multiple conditions.
You can find comprehensive documentation for IFTTT's developer tools, including Filter code and Queries, on the IFTTT website under the 'Developers' section. Filter code primarily uses JavaScript, allowing you to add custom logic and modify data within your Applets.
IFTTT Applets rely on a consistent internet connection to function because they are cloud-based automations. If your internet goes down, your IFTTT Applets, including those controlling Philips Hue lights, will temporarily stop working until the connection is restored.
