If This, Then That（或 IFTTT）(If This, Then That (or IFTTT))是一个功能强大的自动化系统，可让您将不同的任务链接在一起。例如，您可以将智能灯和电子邮件链接在一起，这样当收到重要电子邮件时，您的灯就会闪烁——但如果它突然停止工作，您会怎么做？
如果您的IFTTT任务出现故障，请尝试其中一种方法来解决问题。
验证 IFTTT 是否在线
如果IFTTT出现故障，小程序也会出现故障。网站不会经常下线，但由于多种因素可能会发生这种情况：计划维护、DDOS攻击等。如果您的IFTTT小程序无法正常工作，请使用(IFTTT)Downdetector等服务检查网站是否正常运行。
检查IFTTT是否在线后，执行快速Google搜索，看看是否有其他用户有同样的问题。在许多情况下，IFTTT集成错误是最终用户无法控制的服务器端问题。在这种情况下，您唯一的选择是等到客户纠正问题。
例如，如果Google、Amazon或其他一些服务出现故障，则无论您尝试何种方法，您的IFTTT小程序都可能在问题得到纠正之前无法运行。
重新连接 IFTTT 小程序
如果IFTTT小程序出现故障，最简单的解决方法是重新连接服务。小程序验证服务器有时会收到错误的数据，或者以前的命令不知何故被命令顺序捕获。
换句话说，会发生故障。要更正此问题，请关闭您的小程序并重新打开。
选择您遇到问题的小程序并单击已连接。(Connected.)这将断开服务。给它几秒钟让命令通过，然后单击连接。(Connect.)此过程断开并重新连接小程序，并将纠正大量问题。
检查触发器和操作字段
人为(Human)错误是导致小程序无法触发的另一种可能性。例如，如果您的触发短语是“游戏模式”，但您认为是“游戏时间”，那么无论您尝试多少次都不会得到您想要的结果。
如果特定小程序不工作，请检查其触发器字段和操作字段。确认这两个字段都设置为执行您想要的任务。您还应该确保操作字段控制正确的设备。如果您有多个名称相似的设备，请仔细检查您是否选择了正确的设备。
使用“立即检查”功能
设置小程序时，您可以单击立即检查(Check now)命令强制运行小程序。它是IFTTT(IFTTT)实现的工具，因此用户可以测试小程序的功能。如果您单击该命令并显示“无法检查小程序(Applet)”之类的错误，则表示出现问题。
当您收到这样的消息时，请确保所有其他小程序设置都是正确的。如果IFTTT无法测试小程序，那么当您尝试使用它时，小程序也不会运行。
重置设备
如果您尝试控制智能家居(device like a smart home)扬声器或智能灯等物理设备，请执行设备的物理重置。您可以通过拔下设备或点击设备本身的特定按钮组合来完成此操作。每个智能家居设备都有自己独特的重置命令，因此请查看提供的说明以准确验证如何执行任务。
检查您的活动提要
在IFTTT网站上，如果您单击您的用户图标并选择Activity，您可以查看您帐户中的近期活动。这显示了特定小程序何时打开、激活等。这是一个有用的工具，可以让您监控小程序的执行情况，但它也会显示错误消息。
这些错误消息可以帮助您深入了解为什么小程序无法运行。IFTTT提供了一个错误词汇表(Error glossary)来帮助您解读错误消息的含义。
确保IFTTT具有正确的权限(Correct Permissions)
使用IFTTT 控制手机上的设置时(IFTTT to control settings on your phone)，您需要确保应用程序具有执行其任务所需的权限。在大多数情况下，IFTTT需要能够在后台刷新。您可以在设置应用程序时或稍后通过移动设备上 的“设置”菜单授予这些权限。(Settings)
联系支持以解决问题
许多错误超出了您的控制范围。如果您尝试了所有这些方法，但问题仍未解决，请联系IFTTT支持。提供问题的详细描述以及您为纠正问题所采取的步骤。
IFTTT允许很多创造力，但这也可能意味着从未测试过的潜在组合。如果您无法解决错误，请联系 IFTTT(IFTTT)（或Google、Amazon等支持）并寻求帮助。
IFTTT Not Working? 8 Ways to Fix
If This, Then That (or IFTTT) is a powerful automation system that allows you to link disparate tasks together. For example, you can link your smart lights and your email together so that your lights flash when an important email comes in–but what do you do if it suddenly stops working?
If your IFTTT tasks malfunction, try one of these methods to correct the issue.
Verify that IFTTT is Online
If IFTTT goes down, so too do the applets. Websites do not often go offline, but it can happen due to a variety of factors: planned maintenance, DDOS attacks, etc. If your IFTTT applets are not working, check that the website is operational by using a service like Downdetector.
Once you have checked that IFTTT is online, perform a quick Google search and find out if any other users have the same problem. In many instances, IFTTT integration errors are server-side problems that the end user has no control over. In this situation, your only option is to wait until the client corrects the issue.
For example, if a malfunction occurs at Google, Amazon, or some other service, your IFTTT applets might not work until the problem is corrected, regardless of the methods you try.
Reconnect the IFTTT Applet
If an IFTTT applet malfunctions, the easiest fix is to reconnect the service. The applet verification servers sometimes receive faulty data or a previous command somehow was caught in the command order.
In other words, glitches happen. To correct this, turn your applet off and back on.
Select the applet you are having trouble with and click Connected. This will disconnect the service. Give it a few seconds for the command to go through, and then click Connect. This process disconnects and reconnects the applet and will correct a huge number of problems.
Check Trigger and Action Fields
Human error is another possibility for why an applet doesn’t trigger. For example, if your trigger phrase is “game mode,” but you think it is “game time,” you will not get the results you want no matter how often you try.
If a specific applet is not working, check its trigger field and the action field. Verify that both fields are set to perform the tasks you want. You should also ensure the action field controls the right device. If you have multiple devices with similar names, double-check that you have selected the correct one.
Use the “Check Now” Function
When setting up an applet, you can click the Check now command to force-run the applet. It’s a tool implemented by IFTTT so users can test the functionality of an applet. If you click the command and it shows an error like “Cannot check Applet,” it means that something has gone wrong.
When you receive a message like this, make sure that all other applet settings are correct. If IFTTT cannot test the applet, then the applet will not run when you try to use it either.
Reset the Device
If you are attempting to control a physical device like a smart home speaker or a smart light, perform a physical reset of the device. You can do this by unplugging the device or by hitting a specific combination of buttons on the device itself. Each smart home device has its own unique reset command, so check the provided instructions to verify exactly how to carry out the task.
Check Your Activity Feed
On the IFTTT website, if you click your user icon and choose Activity, you can view recent activity within your account. This shows when specific applets were turned on, activated, and more. It is a useful tool that allows you to monitor how your applets perform, but it will also show error messages.
These error messages can lend valuable insight into why an applet is not working. IFTTT provides an Error glossary to help you decipher what the error messages mean.
Ensure IFTTT Has the Correct Permissions
When using IFTTT to control settings on your phone, you need to make sure the app has the necessary permissions to perform its tasks. In most cases, IFTTT needs the ability to refresh in the background. You can grant these permissions when setting up the app or later through the Settings menu on your mobile device.
Contact Support to Resolve Problems
Many errors are outside your control. If you try all of these methods and the problem still hasn’t gone away, contact IFTTT support. Provide a detailed description of the problem and the steps you have taken to correct the issue.
IFTTT allows for a lot of creativity, but this can also mean potential combinations that have never been tested. If you can’t resolve an error, reach out to IFTTT (or Google, Amazon, etc. support) and ask for assistance.
