Documentation

You know what's worth celebrating? SPACE. Use this task to activate a discount code every time the International Space Station passes over your store (or some other location of your choice), powered by Mechanic webhooks, IFTTT, and NASA. 🚀

To get set up, follow our guide on Triggering tasks with IFTTT, with these modifications:

  1. When configuring your Mechanic webhook, use the event topic user/space/iss.

  2. When choosing an IFTTT service (for "+this"), search for and select the "Space" service.

  3. When choosing an IFTTT trigger, select "ISS passes over a specific location", and choose the location of your store. Or, whatever location you prefer. :)

  4. When configuring the webhook action, set the content type to "application/json", and set the body to the following code:

    { "duration_seconds": "{{DurationSeconds}}", "location_map_url": "{{LocationMapUrl}}" }

That's it! :) Every time the ISS arrives at your location, this task will activate the discount code of your choice (re-activating it when it already exists, and creating it if it does not), setting it to expire when the ISS departs.
