Click Create Action and then click Create Recipe and that’s it—we now have
everything ready and set up; all we need to do is test the scripts and recipe. To test the
project, all you need to do is mention yourself in a tweet or get someone else to do it for
you. When IFTTT notices this and checks the Twitter feed, it will then trigger the Photon
to sound the buzzer and vibrate the motor. The IFTTT Web service will check Twitter
every 15 minutes, so you may have to wait a few minutes until it triggers the Photon
board. At this point you can feel free to play around with the different types of triggers
that are available using the Twitter Web service, such as when you tweet something or
when you have a new follower on Twitter. You can see the final project build in Figure
8.14.
