Automation gurus,
I am having a problem setting up sending events from IFTTT to Home Assistant. I have created an input boolean in HA for “motion detection”. I am trying to use IFTTT to send HA the event when the occupancy sensor triggers. It is a D-Link DCH-S150. The connection from DLink to IFTTT worked right away and the trigger happens. But IFTTT applet generates the following message when trying to report the event:
Error
Applet skipped
Jun 11 - 9:46 AM
D-Link Motion Sensor
If Motion detected by Motion Sensor, then make a web request
Unable to make web request. Your server returned a 404
Here is the setup for the applet:
If Motion detected by Motion Sensor, then make a web request
67/140
View activity log
Receive notifications when this Applet runs
Motion detected
This Trigger fires when motion is detected.
Make a web request
This action will make a web request to a publicly accessible URL. NOTE: Requests may be rate limited.

When I review the HA component setup for IFTTT it talks about the Rest API but I have done nothing regarding that as I don’t understand where to put the code or even if I should use it.
I hope this is not too cryptic but if anyone has any experience with this I would appreciate the help.
Best,
