Why am I not finding Apilio in IFTTT?
The link https://ifttt.com/apilio goes to a 404 page, and nothing comes up in a search.
Is it just really bad timing on my part that things are changing at IFTTT and this documentation hasn’t caught up yet?

Hey Chadd, sorry but you’ve somehow found an article linking to our new IFTTT integration which goes live tomorrow afternoon; the article was supposed to be hidden but it’s been put live (probably my fault). I know it’s a pain but if you check tomorrow evening then you should be good to go! Thanks for you patience.
Hi Dan, that’s great to hear that I’m not going nuts and I was just digging into documentation farther than I should have.
Good luck with the integration launch and I’ll be checking back soon!

Thanks for the considerate reply Chadd.
Hey Chadd, you should be able to find it now and it’s all LIVE! Enjoy.

Is this broken again or am I just missing something? When I use the app or web to visit https://ifttt.com/apiio and click “Connect”, nothing appears to happen. Then when I try to handle receiving an event from Apilio at https://ifttt.com/create/if-receive-an-event-from-apilio, the dropdown just gives me “Options Unavailable”. It never asks me to enter my API key or do any sort of authentication.
Hey Andrew, we’re not aware of any system issues at this point but will take a look.
Hi @Andrew,
is it possible that you have two accounts, and that you have a logged in session with Google?
For further assistance, can you start a direct conversation with the chat bubble after logging into the Apilio UI?
Yeah for what it’s worth when I connect the Apilio service in IFTTT it seems to work, and it does load my conditions when I create for example a location applet to update, but when I try to setup one of the pre-created Hue applets it says ‘the service could not be loaded at this time’ and my events list doesn’t populate.
Hi @ansago!
I’m not sure where in the applet connection process you see the error message. Is that showing up on IFTTT? Can you paste a screenshot?

Hey there! This is showing up in IFTTT, specifically when I try to use the pre-built ‘Turn ON a Hue light…’ applet. I’ve attached a screenshot here. It seems the connection to my Apilio account is successful, since when I create a new location-based trigger it does populate my list of variables to update.

Hmm… I have never seen that message before. I will check if there’s anything in the template that might be wrong.
Thanks for sharing!

Great, thank you! I’ll keep an eye out - let me know if there’s anything else I can do to assist.

I tested the applet (https://ifttt.com/applets/mBiHksZF) with my personal account and did not see the warning. Difficult to say what the issue is - were the Hue lights loaded in the dropdown?
I will ask IFTTT support what the cause for the displayed message might be.

Interesting. Yes, when I try to use that applet it does load my list of Hue lights no problem. I tested a few other of your pre-built applets and it seems that any of them that need to pull the list of events has the same error, but any that push an update to a variable load the list of variables no problem.

I was in contact with IFTTT support and they suspect that’s indeed a problem with the Apilio connection, since the list for Hue bulbs loads well.
Can you go to https://ifttt.com/apilio/settings and click on „Edit“?. This will re-authenticate the connection with Apilio. Maybe that will solve the issue.
Do you have multiple Google logins or Apilio accounts?

Hey there, sorry for the delay. I was able to go through the steps you described and log in to Apilio but I still get the same error in the Android app (on the web app it says ‘Options unavailable’ in the event dropdown). I’ve also tried removing Apilio from my services entirely and re-adding it, but that hasn’t helped either.

If the problem persists, can you start a 1:1 chat with us (login to the app and use the blue chat buttom in the lower right corner) and send us a screenshot of the IFTTT actions page? https://app.apilio.com/ifttt_actions
