ifttt-ghpages

Hello! 👋 This is a script which lets you create Jekyll entries in a Github repo from IFTTT events, using the IFTTT Webhook action. You can see it in use on https://webrender.net.

Setup

• Remix this project (or clone the repo if you'd prefer to run it yourself)
• in the .env file, enter your username, the repo you'd like to commit to, and your Github user token. You can generate a Personal Access Token for use with this script here: https://github.com/settings/tokens
• for the WEBHOOK_TOKEN env variable, generate/create a token of your choice. We'll use this to verify requests are coming from our webhook.
• Go to IFTTT and create a new applet. For the "that" action, choose the Webhooks service, and then the Make a web request option. Fill in the fields as follows:
  • URL: The URL of your node server, with a token parameter. Example:
    • https://ifttt-ghpages.glitch.me/?token=your-token
  • Method: POST
  • Content Type: text/plain
  • Body: A YAML-formatted Jekyll document, with newlines replaced with |||. Example from examples/twitter:
    • ---|||layout: post|||title: {{UserName}} - Tweet|||network: twitter|||date: {{CreatedAt}}|||---|||{{TweetEmbedCode}}
