Connect FeedNest to IFTTT applets using the REST API via the Webhooks service.

Prerequisites

REST API only

IFTTT does not support MCP. Use FeedNest’s REST API via IFTTT’s Webhooks service to make HTTP requests.

Setup with Webhooks service

  1. 1

    Create a new Applet

    Go to ifttt.com/create and choose your trigger (the “If This” part).

  2. 2

    Add Webhooks as the action

    For the “Then That” action, search for Webhooks and select Make a web request.

  3. 3

    Configure the request

    Fill in the following fields:

    URLhttps://feednest.com/api/v1/articles
    MethodGET
    Content Typeapplication/json
    Additional HeadersAuthorization: Bearer fn_live_...
  4. 4

    Save and enable

    Save the applet and toggle it on. Test by triggering the “If This” condition.

IFTTT Pro required

The Webhooks “Make a web request” action requires an IFTTT Pro subscription ($2.99/mo). It is not available on the free tier.

Common REST API endpoints

GET /api/v1/articles — list articles

GET /api/v1/feeds — list feeds

GET /api/v1/saved — list saved articles

GET /api/v1/tags — list tags

POST /api/v1/articles/{id}/read — mark as read

POST /api/v1/articles/{id}/save — save article

Verify your connection

After setup, try one of these prompts to confirm everything is working:

  • →“What are my unread articles?”
  • →“Summarize my latest saved articles”
  • →“How many feeds am I subscribed to?”

Troubleshooting

Webhook returns an error

IFTTT’s Webhooks service shows limited error details. Test the same request with curl or a browser extension first to debug.

Custom headers not sent

The “Make a web request” action requires IFTTT Pro ($2.99/mo). On the free tier, the Webhooks action is not available.

Applet doesn’t trigger

IFTTT checks triggers periodically (not instantly). For time-sensitive workflows, consider n8n or Zapier instead.
