This article provides basics about the "Advanced Options" field in the LIFX IFTTT integration. Use of the advanced options on an applet will override standard settings. Be aware of this, when using this feature.
Please note that applets using advanced options are not supported. If you have any questions about these options, please see our developer forum.
Incorrect syntax usage will prevent the applet from working. Please use the standard options in IFTTT when possible.
