IFTTT
Low-bandwidth alerts by email, Slack or Telegram, and a daily usage log in Google Sheets, with ready-made Applets.
Last verified: November 2026What it does
The Proxmint service on IFTTT watches your account and starts an Applet when something happens: a product runs low on bandwidth, or a day’s usage is in. The Applet then does the rest in any app IFTTT supports, such as email, a phone notification, Slack, Telegram or a Google Sheets row.
The service only reads. It cannot buy bandwidth, top up, or change targeting, and it does not send traffic through your proxies.
Connect your account
- Open the Proxmint service on IFTTT and turn on an Applet, or create your own with Proxmint as the trigger.
- IFTTT sends you to Proxmint. Sign in, check the account shown at the top, and choose Allow.
- That creates a read-only API key named “IFTTT” on your account. To disconnect, revoke it under Settings.
Trigger: bandwidth running low
Fires when a product has less bandwidth left than the number of GB you set, such as 5. It fires once per product, then again only after a top-up, the next time that product runs low. A pack that is used up counts, with 0 GB left.
| Ingredient | Value |
|---|---|
| Product | The product that ran low, such as Residential. |
| Remaining GB | Bandwidth left on it when the trigger fired. |
| Threshold GB | The amount you set on the trigger. |
| Checked at | When the bandwidth figure was last read. |
| Top-up URL | A link to buy more bandwidth in the dashboard. |
Trigger: daily usage
Fires once for each product that had traffic on a UTC day, after the day is over. Days with no traffic don’t fire.
| Ingredient | Value |
|---|---|
| Product | The product the traffic went through. |
| Date | The UTC day, as YYYY-MM-DD. |
| Gigabytes | Bandwidth used that day. |
| Requests | Requests made that day. |
Ready-made Applets
- Low bandwidth alert by email, phone notification, Slack, Telegram, Discord or Microsoft Teams.
- Usage log that adds a row to Google Sheets every day.
- Daily usage report by email, phone notification, Slack or Telegram.
When Applets run
- IFTTT checks the triggers about once an hour, and bandwidth figures refresh about every 15 minutes. A low-bandwidth alert can arrive an hour or more after the drop, so leave room in the threshold on a product you use heavily.
- A day’s usage is reported once the day has been over for three hours, because late traffic keeps being added for a while after midnight UTC. Expect it in the morning, UTC.
Good to know
- Connecting needs a confirmed email address, and an account can hold up to 10 API keys. The consent page says which one is in the way.
- For a balance alert or a product’s status, the Integrately app has those triggers too.
- An Applet that didn’t run: check its activity log on IFTTT first. If Proxmint returned an error there, contact support.
