How do I split macros and return a user made IFTTT key

[Digant Gandhi]

Hi Team,

Considering, I have a IFTTT macro for “Applink Create”, where I create a JIRA and also Link it to other Jira using API call.

What I want to do now is, split this into two, and return the IFTTT key of “Create Jira Issue” when I click on the submit button

I tried separating it into 2, one by having a Create Jira issue, and other by having an API Call Macro, but I am unable to now trigger this API Call macro, I tried setting [entry.id]&issueKey=[iftttresult_returnkey] inside the Trigger this macro only when the parameter satisfies but I am quite not sure if this is the right approach to it.

Pls do help me figure out on how do I split these two macros, and return only the iftttresult of the “Create Jira Issue” macro

You should have something like

https://wiki.vertuna.com/spaces/CONFIFORMS/pages/9864128/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-Create(Update)ConfiFormsEntry

to update the local field with a created Jira issue key

entryId=[entry.id]&issueKey=[iftttResult_returnkey]

 Assuming the field you want to store it is named "issueKey" and the IFTTT name you given to the IFTTT rule that created an issue is named "returnkey" (without quotes)

This way you can then reference this value using [entry.issueKey] later in your further IFTTTs

As you can see in the First Image, I am using the Action - Create JIRA Issue - so the JIRA ID which gets created here, needs to be passed to the second image, which uses “AppLink Service” Action to Link this JIRA which is created to an existing JIRA ID, but I am facing an issue to pass the JIRA ID which got created in the first Macro to the next Macro

You need an extra IFTTT in-between, as explained in my comment - to save back the issue key

PS, the condition for the second IFTTT that you have seems to be off (makes no sense, from what I see in the screenshot)

Okay, So if I add an Update Confiforms Macro, then I will be able to save the JIRA ID in an IssueKey and will be able to pass it to the AppLink Service Macro right?

Regarding the condition, yes I was trying if I could do it by just passing the Id and the jirareturnkey, failed miserably 😩 but let me try what you have suggested!

Just a correction* - entry= [entry.id]&issueKey=[iftttresult_returnkey]
