A sample app built with express-ifttt-webhook to display text messages pushed to IFTTT in real time though web sockets.

I'm hosting a version for you at Heroku, so you really do not need to install anything. But, if you want to have your own little chat app, the easiest option is to use the awesome one-click Heroku deployment.
IFTTT recently released a new suite of apps for iOS and Android, each one dedicated to trigger actions for one certain event. The one we will use for demonstration purpose is called Do Note, which lets you send texts. It's avaiable for free for iOS and Android, so just go ahead and download.
You need to activate the IFTTT Wordpress channel. "Really? Wordpress?" - No, not really ;) It's basically a hack, but a pretty nifty one. If you want to get into the details, it's explained in the express-ifttt-webhook documentation.
Feel free to use the URL of my hosted version on Heroku for a quick test.
After you activated the Wordpress channel, choose the "Create a post" action
and configure it like this:
- Express
- express-ifttt-webhook
- React
- Socket.io
- Browserify
- Gulp
- Sass
- Bootstrap
- Moment.js
- lodash
