Trouble with user feed

    When you add a new item, it should show up with the same feed refreshed, yes? I added a new item, synced libraries, and then refreshed that feed. The new item didn't show up. Maybe that is the issue...?

    ok, I refreshed again... so will wait to see if it gets triggered in IFTTT, and then if not, will check the recipe...
  • When you add a new item, it should show up with the same feed refreshed, yes?
    exactly, yes. But might take a little time, I don't know exactly how the API handles that. Also, make sure the sync has gone though and you see that item in your library (and in the collection you've create the feed for if any).

    Obviously as long as it doesn't show up in the feed it won't trigger IFTTT
  • okay, I waited for about fifteen minutes between when I saw the new item in the feed, and waiting for IFTTT to trigger (I read that for most triggers, it's about 15 minutes between each one). No response, so I checked it: and "recipe check fail."

    Hmm. Well, I think I'll call it a night - but I truly appreciate all your help and direction!! I've really liked Zotero, and you've given me one more reason to like it even more.
  • hmm - don't know then. Try again tomorrow morning, else we can have a look, maybe test the recipe with a group I can add to or so.
  • All right, sounds good.
  • Hi Again.

    Looked to see this morning whether the recipe had triggered - it didn't, and a forced run failed again.

    I did notice, when looking through my Zotero, that an error report had been logged - 31583395. I don't know if this will shed any light on the situation at all, but thought I'd throw it out there.
  • as long as the item syncs and shows up in the feed, the Zotero error isn't relevant - error reports often pick up unrelated or irrelevant issues.
    So let's try to set this up for a group I can use, so I can replicate what you're seeing.
    Could you set up the recipe for
    https://api.zotero.org/groups/32807/collections/MMNMDX7T/items/top?start=0&limit=25
    Let me know when you're done and I'll add an item.
  • okay - I copied the new feed into the recipe, so whenever you're ready you can add an item.
  • OK, I get the "Recipe Check failed" message now, too, while my old Recipe using the same feed still works. Even if there are no new items, IFTTT should just say "Recipe checked" and not trigger.

    I don't think it's on the "then that" side of things - I've stripped this down to just sending an e-mail with the entry title.

    At this point this looks like an IFTTT issue, would you mind reporting there? https://ifttt.com/help
    Feel free to keep using the recipe with my public group so they can more easily look at it.
  • okay, sounds good - thanks for confirming that I'm not completely crazy, haha. I'll contact them and let them know what's going on, and I'll let you know what I hear. Thanks!
  • try again now. Working for me now.
  • Okay, great - yes, it worked for me now, too! Thanks so much for helping me isolate the issue, and for pointing me to IFTTT help. Very happy now!
