Actions

Here you will find a list of all the current supported actions & parameters in this program as well as planned ones. Actions is what the software reacts to. The program searches for a specific file on your computer, if that file contains one of the supported actions it will then execute that action. Some actions have parameters, something that the action (may) need to be executed.

* More in-depth explanation: IFTTT will sometimes treat a number-parameter like a word if it isn't the last word in the pickup-phrase. So the if anything comes after the number, like "percent", IFTTT might pick it up as "five" instead of "5"
