@briandconnelly (of [pushoverr](http:\/\/crantastic.org\/authors\/4002) fame) made a super-cool post about [connecting R](http:\/\/bconnelly.net\/2015\/06\/connecting-r-to-everything-with-ifttt\/) to @IFTTT via IFTTT’s “Maker” channel. The IFTTT Maker interface to receive events is fairly straightforward and Brian’s code worked flawlessly, so it was easy to tweak a bit and [wrap into a package](https:\/\/github.com\/hrbrmstr\/nifffty). <\/p>\n

To get started, you can clone an [example public IFTTT recipe](https:\/\/ifttt.com\/recipes\/300804-post-maker-event-values-to-dropbox-file) that posts data to a Dropbox folder. All you need to do is add the IFTTT channel to your account and add the API key to your `.Renviron` file, which will look something like:<\/p>\n

IFTTT_API_KEY=uGlySTringOfCharACTers-<\/pre>\n
Sticking it in the `.Renviron` file is a nice platform-independent way of getting the variable in your environment (and you can set a similar environment variable in Travis for automated testing). NOTE that you’ll need to restart your R\/RStudio session for that value to become available (what, you don’t have RStudio up all the time?).<\/p>\n
Once you have the key in place and the IFTTT recipe setup, all you have to do is:<\/p>\n
devtools::install_github(\"hrbrmstr\/nifffty\")\r\nlibrary(nifffty)\r\nmaker(\"rtest\", \"this\", \"is a\", \"test\")<\/pre>\n
and you’ll have a file named something like `june_19__2015_at_0927am.txt` in a Dropbox folder that should have values like:<\/p>\n
Value 1: this\r\nValue 2: is a\r\nValue 3: test<\/pre>\n
The potential IFTTT integrations are not limited to Dropbox (or iOS\/Android notification as in Brian’s example). You can literally trigger _anything_ from R in the IFTTT catalogue. Go foRth and automate!<\/p>\n
### DOing even MoRe<\/p>\n
As stated, Brian’s code was complete, so making a package to post to IFTTT’s Maker channel was really easy. But, this is R and if we can get data _to_ it, things can be _even cooler_. So, I made a `receiver` function that will catch Maker channel web requests and do stuff with them.  Since I have an Apple Watch, I decided I wanted to test the interface out with IFTTT’s [DO button](http:\/\/blog.ifttt.com\/post\/116563004243\/do-for-ipad-and-apple-watch) and have R receive my coordinates whenever I press this:<\/p>\n
\"IMG_0853\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(That’s an actual screen capture from the Apple Watch).<\/p>\n
If you have both R and an Apple Watch, you can create a DO app as such (NOTE that DO apps work fine on the iPhone _without_ an Apple Watch):<\/p>\n
\"do_button_r_nifffty\"<\/a><\/p>\n
That will `POST` a bit of JSON to whatever is listening for it. To get R to listen to it, you need to build a small script that I’ll call `listen.R`, create a function to process the data and register it with the instance of the [Rook](http:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/web\/packages\/Rook\/README.html) web server that it will automagically create for you. You can specify which IP address and\/or port to listen on as well. NOTE that this R server _must_ be reachable _from_ the internet, so you may need to do port forwarding if behind a NAT firewall.<\/p>\n
My sample `listen.R` looks like this:<\/p>\n
library(nifffty)\r\n\r\n# not the best name for a function but it works\r\ndo_it <- function(req) {\r\n  require(jsonlite)\r\n  print(fromJSON(names(req$POST())))\r\n  writeLines(names(req$POST()), \"\/tmp\/bob.txt\")\r\n}\r\n\r\n# you can change the port to match what you put into IFTTT\r\nrcvr <- receiver(port=10999, handler=do_it)\r\n\r\n# this is not necessary but it's a good diagnostic for a test script\r\nprint(rcvr)\r\n\r\n# keeps the script alive\r\nwhile (TRUE) Sys.sleep(24 * 60 * 60)<\/pre>\n
You can run that from a command-line (I tested it on Ubuntu) as such:<\/p>\n
bob@server:~$ Rscript listen.R\r\nLoading required package: methods\r\nLoading required package: Rook\r\nServer started on 0.0.0.0:10999\r\n[1] nifffty http:\/\/0.0.0.0:10999\/custom\/nifffty\r\n\r\nCall browse() with an index number or name to run an application.<\/pre>\n
When you tap the DO button on the Apple Watch, you'll see the following in the console:<\/p>\n
Loading required package: jsonlite\r\n\r\nAttaching package: \u2018jsonlite\u2019\r\n\r\nThe following object is masked from \u2018package:utils\u2019:\r\n\r\n    View\r\n\r\n$latitude\r\n[1] 43.25931\r\n\r\n$longitude\r\n[1] -70.80062\r\n\r\n$timestamp\r\n[1] \"June 19, 2015 at 04:45PM\"<\/pre>\n
and the following in the file it was instructed to write to:<\/p>\n
bob@server:~$ cat \/tmp\/bob.txt\r\n{ \"latitude\": 43.2593566552207, \"longitude\": -70.8004647307757, \"timestamp\": \"June 19, 2015 at 04:46PM\" }<\/pre>\n
JSON is a good choice given how easy it is to work with in R and you can have R do _anything_ you can dream up with the data that's sent to it. You can connect _any_ supported IFTTT component and hook any variable from said component into the JSON that R will receive.<\/p>\n
### Coming Soon<\/p>\n
The next step is to make a Shiny interface so it can receive and process real-time events. I'm hoping to make a sample Shiny app that will update my location on a map every time I tap the DO button and also compute some stats for it. I also need to put some polish on the receiver interface (add logging and some error checking).<\/p>\n
