Nobody is even answering our emails/applications for an IFTTT channel so I'm going to shamelessly hook in here and ask: who do small companies (that's what startups are, right?) have to bribe to get bigger companies to even look down at us and exchange an email or two ?

And PLEASE don't tell me to "just fill out the form at http://ifttt.com/platform", tired of that already. We have hundreds of thousands of active users of an IoT service and you're just ignoring us.

PS: I'm grossed out by the fact that I had to resort to a HN comment to try to get someone's attention. Go ahead and downvote to the abyss.

Our apologies! We are smaller than you think :) Send me an email at my first name at ifttt.com

Could you clarify if you actually have someone that is responsible for reading and responding on the official contact channel (http://ifttt.com/platform) for "Partnership" Inquiries?

I've found that if you ever want to contact a company, find the appropriate person and email them. Collectively owned company emails are terrible because they often don't have a single point of responsibility.

Also for github repos, project maintainers, email if you want a response, don't use an issue or the wiki or form. I just got a minor rails gem updated today that had people complaining about the lack of updates in issues by emailing the account owner.

Zrgiu_ , I'd recommend looking into writing a Node-red node. That way, your work stays yours, and integrates in a wider open source community.

Your work should stay yours, and as current as you choose. You will have to deal with the initial npm politics, but that's better than the IFTTT contract presented...
