We are currently working on improving our IFTTT application and we just added a new trigger named “New video from search”. It’s now possible to create an IFTTT applet that will perform an action every time a new filtered video is found. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to receive an email when a new “Game of Thrones” video is available in English on Dailymotion.
IFTTT glossary:
- IFTTT (“if this, then that”): is a free platform to get your apps and devices working together
- Applet: IFTTT application, combination of a trigger and an action
- Trigger: part of the applet that checks if an event is occurring
- Action: the other part the applet that performs something when a trigger detects an event
Step 1
Create a new IFTTT applet by clicking on “New Applet” on your personal menu.

IFTTT Applets: how does it work?
IFTTT is directly connected to Dailymotion REST API. The service checks if new filtered videos are available and sends an event each time a new element is found.
We added 5 different filters in this new video trigger:
- Matches a particular keyword or simple phrase
- Matches a particular user
- Matches a particular language
- Matches a particular channel
- Matches verified videos only
More possibilities with IFTTT
If you’re not a developer, IFTTT is a great alternative to enjoy the features offered by our API. There are thousands of actions that can be automatically performed when a new video is found:
- Receive a message by email, sms, Slack, Facebook Messenger
- Post the video on social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn)
- Create an article on WordPress, Blogger…
