The justification for ignoring it seems to a general philosophy that "settings are evil".
Again, XXtokenXX and the chat_id have to be changed with the appropriate values.I am quite baffled that this simple request has not been addressed 5 year later. For more information on the available parameters, the official doc is a good reference.
Of course the text value is written using Markdown syntax. In order to have a preview of the image embedded in the bot message, I used parse_mode set to markdown and i set disable_web_page_preview to false, even if it’s the default setting. The action is the “Make a web request” is the Maker channel, using the following parameters ( XXtokenXX and the chat_id have to be changed with the appropriate values): The city is selected when the channel in connected with the IFTTT account. There are plenty of other information available in the triggers, like sunrise and sunset time, change of conditions / temperature and much more. I set 7.00 am because I prepare last minute, but it’s also possible to select “Tomorrow’s weather report” and receive the message the evening for the ones that want to plan what to dress the next day in advance. The trigger to activate in the Weather channel is “Today’s weather report”, setting the time of the day the report has to be sent.
To create the Telegram bot, please look to my previous post. The logic is easy: every recipe has a different trigger (the “this” past), and the action is always the same: use the Maker channel to send a POST HTTP call to the Telegram bot, formatting the message with the specific information I want to display. A message with the Milan weather condition every morning, for example, or a cool 500px picture during the day to take a break and enjoy the beauty? Possibilities are limited only by IFTTT skills. Now that I created a Telegram bot fed by IFTTT, I can add new features using the available channels.
