Create commands to control online services & devices

You can create your own commands for your Google Assistant using IFTTT. See services and devices you can control.

IFTTT is a separate company from Google. The name stands for 「If this, then that.」

For example, if you say:

  • 「It’s time to wake up,」 then your automated coffee maker turns on
  • 「Tell my friends I’m going sailing,」 then a status update is posted to your social network

Together, your custom phrase and action is called an Applet. To create an IFTTT Applet or use ones that other people have created, follow the steps below.

If an Applet isn’t working, you likely have an issue with your device settings.

To fix the issue:

  • Repeat your phrase. Speak clearly and naturally.
  • See if you’re using one of the phrases you’ve added to your Applet. If there’s only one phrase in your Applet, try adding other ways of saying the same phrase. Follow these steps to find or edit an Applet.

    • To see which account you’re signed in to on your phone:

      2. At the top, you’ll find the email address of the account you’re signed in to.
