When talking about an open-source IFTTT please always consider Node-Red. I host four instances of it around my life and it's my go-to solution for almost everything. https://nodered.org/
What does everyone use IFTTT-style services for? Up until about a month ago I had had an account since the beta, but never really found a use for it beyond something like: "Hey, Honey! Watch the lights change when it rains!" ¯\_(⌣̯̀⌣́)_/¯
However professionally, things like Zapier are very popular. Our marketing and operations teams love them because they can build semi automated processes without time from engineers. Often it's connecting spreadsheets, ticketing systems, customer support systems, etc.
It feels nice to have these things under the control of engineering teams, but really it's unlikely they'll add value, and I think these services are pretty handy in so many cases.

I agree about the problem: it's hard to run a business supporting a project if a competitor can come along and resell their code without any compensation.
The commons clause says a company can't sell "a product or service whose value derives, entirely or substantially, from the functionality of the Software."
I like the idea that a company could create a plugin that works with existing open source software and then sell that. I like the idea of creating a framework that lots of people can add plugins for, because I could make my living offering a few handy plugins for it and I don't have a problem if others are also making a living selling their own plugins. In principle, it makes a lot of sense.
I'm not clear if it's kosher for me to write product X that's using a lot of Apache licensed software, but to which I've added the Commons Clause.
And it generally seems problematic... Suppose a company sinks a decent amount of effort into some widgets they add to a commons clause licensed software, but only 10% of customers really use the widgets. Are they in violation of the license?
N8n.io is not open source. It even says so on the landing page. Edit: the article has since been updated

But I think you will get a lot of demand for including this product in various workflows in an integrated way. Are you planning on releasing an API license, or some such?
