### {% linkable_title Sending events from IFTTT to Home Assistant %}
To be able to receive events from IFTTT, your Home Assistant instance needs to be accessible from
the web. This can be achieved by forwarding port 8123 from your router to the device running Home
Assistant. If your ISP is giving you a new IP address from time to time, consider using
[DuckDNS][duck-dns].
