Some months ago the IFTTT platform released the Maker Channel. This new channel allows basically calling HTTP urls for triggering events, and also configuring HTTP endpoints to be called when some event is detected. This channel fits perfectly with the thinger.io platform and will increase the possibilities while building connected devices. Now any device will be able to interact with multiple services and react to external events. That is so cool!

There is a preliminary integration that currently allows triggering events in your Maker channel. Sending a tweet in this way just take one line of code in the device! The next step will allow to your devices to react to external events like weather, citations, incoming emails, and all this stuff from the IFTTT... Just in a few days!
