Thanks for the contribution!
I hadn't used IFTTT before, but in theory it seems like a more versatile and flexible notification solution compared to the Telegram bot. The interface was a bit unintuitive for me, but I was able to follow the instructions all the way through. At the end I created an applet described as:
If Maker Event "hackjohn", then Send a rich notification from the IFTTT app Activity
The part that took me the longest was actually realizing that I had to click "+" sign to begin creating the applet.
I made a few small suggestions, if you want to accept those, then I will merge this PR.

@neuhoffm, do you not think this is a worthwhile change? Is cJL.... a real key or just an example? We will want to do whatever is most clear to let users know that they must replace the value with their key.

let's default to false since users will have to populate the ifttt fields first
| ifttt_key = 'cJLFuy0CHPBwK0wqndI2g9' | ||
