I have a task to add row into Google Sheet when WebHook received. Now I'm trying to setup IFTTT but have some problem It says that I should use URL like https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/{my_key} and that is ok I can do it. But it needs to send some data in request and the only way my system can do it appends it to query string like https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/{my_key}?name1=Alex&name2=Helen

But IFTTT doesn't see my data. it says that it can see data in attached JSON but I can't use JSON.

So is there any way to pass my data to IFTT in a query string or shell I forgot IFTTT and investigate how to connect directly to Google Sheet?

IFTTT Maker webhooks can only take data with keys of "value1", "value2", and "value3". Try sending it with:

https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/{my_key}?value1=Alex&value2=Helen

Try using https://bitly.com/ which will shorten and convert the query params to a path param. That worked for me.

First thing first, Web hooks are designed to accept data using POST method only and here you are sending data using GET, which is obviously not going to work, i guess.

Second, in order to get it work, one way is to use cURL request and send your JSON in Body with POST method.

  • Unfortunately, I can't change these request. I can change it only if I will add some middleware but it will increase project cos t:( So is there any way to get data from GET request to google sheet? –  GhostKU Aug 04 '17 at 15:42

    GET request work just as well as POST. As @silvamerica says, just provide value1 to value3 as query parameters. What you can't do is use different parameter names (or additional parameters). – Typhlosaurus Nov 14 '17 at 11:52
