IFTTT "If This Then That" or IFTTT is a very powerful integration service that allows an event from the trigBoard to connect to other IoT services, like send an email, text, update a google spreadsheet, turn lights on/off, etc... It requires a maker key in order to work, so here's how get that:
Once logged in, search for "webhooks", then click the services tab:

Then, just click on the webhooks service, click connect, and should be good to go. You should then see a "documentation" button

This is how you get the maker key:

Then it's pretty easy to setup the IF this then That recipe. Just use the web hook for the IF event, where the Event Name is what is given as the trigBoard name in the configurator (no spaces), then the Value 1 is the name, Value 2 is the message.
