Hello,

I have a short question. I used NFC-tags in combination with an Android phone to start a webhook. Then I used the webhook to start a flow by IFTTT. Everything worked fine… till IFTTT starterd their pro-fees (and I am not willing to pay for smalll functions on a monthly subscription)

So I look for a replacement for IFTTT. The main thing that I want to do is use an NFC-tag combined with my phone to start a flow. Does someone have a suggestion to help me?
