To help you get started with webhooks and IFTTT, we have put together some simple webhooks popular for many of our users. 

Tip: if you find at any point your webhook isn't working head over to https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com and paste the code in, if any errors are found it will highlight them for you.

Twitter

Follow these steps for creating a webhook on IFTTT for Twitter.
