We use IFTTT and the new Maker-Event from our local network for various automation tasks. It's a great service and it works.
We have a receipe like
IF Maker-Event THEN Email-Channel (Send me an email at xxx#yyy.com)
The email body is specified as follows:
What: {{EventName}}<br>
{{Value1}}<br>
{{Value2}}<br>
{{Value3}}<br>
When: {{OccurredAt}}<br>
This works perfect, but if there is an url given as value, this url is shortened by IFTTT to http://ift.tt/... even if our url contains private ip-addresses as 10.0.0.23.
Unfortunately we don't have internet access at the time the email is read and so the link fails. Is there any chance to avoid url shortening in the Email channel at IFTTT?
IFTTT provides an option to turn off URL shortening. Go to this url:
https://ifttt.com/preferences/settings
And change following settings. Just uncheck and you're done.

I am trying to set the AppClip invocation for my App which is already released on app store.
I need an url such that it provides me a jobId e.g.: https://example.com/task?jobId=00001.
My use case is that I send the sms with the url https://example.com/task?jobId=00001 to the user, the user clicks on the url and the app gets started. Then for the other user I send the next url with corresponding jobId.
I did setup the AASA file for my domain (contains the JSON with "applinks" and "appclip" objects) which is valid, also the Domain status is valid on App Store Connect. There is a default experience set with title, subtitle, image and action. I also configured an advance experience for the url https://example.com/task.
However, my app clip doesn't get invoked if I access the url from either sms text or safari. :(
I do not have a web page for https://example.com/task therefore I haven't set up the meta data for this.
Is it possible to invoke the AppClip this way? It is really important for me that the URL is dynamic and I pass that jobId every time for each individual booking.
There s no much documentation and I already read at least twice Apple documentation about AppClip.
Because of this:
I do not have a web page for https://example.com/task therefore I haven't set up the meta data for this.
The answer to this:
Is it possible to invoke the AppClip this way?
Is no. Sorry, you need to own the domain you're working with, or at the very least have means to access its CNAME config (thus, be able to induce the owner of that domain to change the CNAME configs to what you want it to be, similar to what branch.io and AppsFlyer does with its users/clients).
Before i start thinking about this programatically, does anyone know if it is possible to actually extract the correct url from an email link that is basically a tracking module?
Our work email system auto blocks tracking based urls from email, so i am thinking of writing something to extract the correct url so people can copy and paste the tracking link into a program and it will provide the correct url.
Is this even possible with the way that email tracking works?
Here is an example of a url in an email that i recently received:
http://t.dripemail2.com/c/eyJhY2NvdW50X2lkIjoiNTE0MTQ4NSIsImRlbGl2ZXJ5X2lkIjoiOTI0NzI2MTU0IiwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXhzaWVkLmNvbS9nY3NlLWNvbXB1dGVyLXNjaWVuY2Uvb2NyLW5lYS1ndWlkZS8_X19zPXphb2txcDVpaWN4NGkxZndtYmNnIn0
Our system blocks these. It eventually resolves to:
https://www.axsied.com/gcse-computer-science/ocr-nea-guide/?__s=zaokqp5iicx4i1fwmbcg
(got our network admin to check it for me)
I want a system that gets the right url from the ugly mess that is blocked so we can actually view links from emails.
Thanks in advance for any help.
The data in tracking URLs are typically a unique ID pointing to some entry in a database, or are encrypted with a private key, so there's no way to obtain any meaningful information from them. (see answers to this related question: Generate unique link for each website visitor)
More naive approaches will simply encode the data, in which case you may be able to extract useful information from them. Funnily enough, your example URL is a base 64 encoded JSON object containing the link itself:
{
"account_id": "5141485",
"delivery_id": "924726154",
"url": "https://www.axsied.com/gcse-computer-science/ocr-nea-guide/?__s=zaokqp5iicx4i1fwmbcg"
}
In this case you could actually resolve the URL on your own, but this type of approach is uncommon for that very reason.
I am using the current link in my email.
*|baseUrl|*/verifyEmail?token=*|token|*
This however causes one or two people to get strange links from the email and get not found, usually based on some random email providers. E.g. - if I use a 10 minute mail (10minutemail.com), I get the following:
https://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/www.mywebsite.com/verifyEmail?token=b32fee82da59e7b4085269faca35ec7025122876
Correct link: www.mywebsite.com/verifyEmail?token=b32fee82da59e7b4085269faca35ec7025122876
Assuming this is due to baseUrl? Am I doing something fundamentally wrong when setting up my email link?
You need to include http:// or https:// with your baseUrl. Otherwise the email client may prepend a default base address instead of 'just' the missing protocol, especially if it is a webmail client.
In golang, is there a way to pipe a variable to part of a web form?
For example, sending "123 Random St." to the Street address part of https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/#/locations/search/ and so on? I found pizza_party*, but the GUI used is no longer available, I have also found pizzadash**, but this uses a credit card where I want to use cash. I even found a list of golang ones, but the links that they use doesn't work anymore.***
Therefore, my goal is so: order a pizza in golang through the dominos website API!
NOTE: Please suggest a package or function with example!
NOTE: I do not want to make a web scraper/data getter.
NOTE: Your answer must work on at least one box of my linked website.
NOTE: I want to fill out links similar to the provided link from the linux command line.

This is how you post any form values onto an online form. Provided you know the POST endpoint of the service.
func main():
resp, err := http.PostForm(targetPostUrlHere,
url.Values{"Service_Type": {"Delivery"},
"Address_Type_Select": {"House"},
"Street": {"123 E 24th St"},
"Address_Line_2": {"4D"},
"City": {"New York"},
"Region": {"NY"},
"Postal_Code": {"10027"}})
}
**Note: The field keys and values are guesstimates. You must inspect the actual key names expected in the form.
In your case, https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/ is an endpoint for the form page. Once the form is filled and submitted, the information is submitted using POST method akin to the code afore-mentioned to a dedicated CREATE endpoint (C in the CRUD), which normally can be found in the <form> html tag.
<form action="posttargetendpoint" method="POST">...</form>
Once the POST operation is successful, usually a web service would redirect you to another page. In your case, it is https://www.dominos.com/en/pages/order/#/section/Food/category/AllEntrees/
However, any good web service wouldn't expose the POST endpoint in the clear since it is the vulnerable point of attack. You're welcome to find out by inspect he Domino's page source and adjust the field values in the Go code accordingly.
Now to make a command line prompt to wrap around the PostForm code, I suggest you look into https://github.com/codegangsta/cli which is a very nice package for creating quick command line app.
I assume you mean pipe information originating from your backend to another site on behalf of a user?
The standard way of passing information between domains is via HTTP params, usually via a GET request, but this capability would need to be supported by established protocols the remote site. You can also use an iframe to embed the page of another site onto your page, however, you wouldn't be able to remotely interact, call JS code, or even query the page at all. Cross-domain security safeguards justifiably prohibit such capability, and generally speaking, interacting on behalf of the user via their browser is also restricted for security reasons.
However, if you're looking to emulate user behavior such as with a bot or web scraper from your own host or browser then that's a different story. There are tons of frameworks provide rich capability for interacting with a page. I'd recommend checking out Selenium, which acts as a virtual browser. There are also tons of libraries in Python for processing data from HTML and structured data. You might want to check out Beatiful Soup and Scrapy.
Hope this helps.
I have an issue in Expression Engine using the Champagne Extension where it won't allow me to send out campaigns. This extension utilizes https://www.campaignmonitor.com/ api to send out mass emails.
The Error I get is "HTML Content URL Required" when I try to send out campaigns form the back end of the Expression Engine Install.
What could be causing this issue that relates to the expression engine install?
This error is received anytime the URL to your html or text content is not visible. More often this is seen when someone forget to include the text version. A good way to test is to click the preview HTML/TEXT button and make sure both give you the correct results.
They cannot be blank.
For an alternative solution, be sure to checkout my add-on Postmaster. It allows clients to publish email campaigns just by creating a new entry. You can setup any number of configuration, so you can even send draft email to a test subscriber list. And since everything is within channel entries, you can use whatever fieldtypes you like, and it works with MailChimp as well as CampaignMonitor.
