OK. now the Sending events to IFTTT is working. i didnt put right name in the “event name”, but the string that i put is
{“event”: “TestHA”, “value1”: “Hello World”} and i only get
“The event named “TestHA” occurred on the maker service”
and NOT “Hello World”.
still straggling with Sending events from IFTTT to Home Assistant

Hi
do i need to leave the text in automations.yaml like this

- id: 'reciveIfttt'
  alias: recive IFTTT
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: ifttt_webhook_received
    event_data:
      action: call_service
  condition: []
  action:
    service_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.service }}'
    data_template:
      entity_id: '{{ trigger.event.data.service }}'

or should i put the service_template and the entity_id like this

- id: 'reciveIfttt'
  alias: recive IFTTT
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: ifttt_webhook_received
    event_data:
      action: call_service
  condition: []
  action:
    service_template: switch.turn_on
    data_template:
      entity_id: switch._light_door_out

OK. i think that grate news. so if i understand you right,for the Sending events to IFTTT, i do need to make automation but for the Sending events from IFTTT, i do not? right?
and also, how do i know that i put is the right "URL api webhook "?
when i Integrations in HA and than to IFTTT:IFTTT webhook, i dont see the api that HA gave when i configure IFTTT.

Thanks

Actually… it’s changed and you do need an automation for incoming it seems… all different since I used it. You need to follow the docs here https://www.home-assistant.io/components/ifttt/

So in the IFTTT Integration you should have a webhook that you give IFTTT. Then IFTTT needs to construct JSON like this:

{ "action": "call_service", "service": "light.turn_on", "entity_id": "light.living_room" }

So that IFTTT can tell HA what it wants HA to do.
In that example it’s calling a service to turn light.living_room on…

Sorry for the bum steer - I don’t use IFTTT anymore at all.
