In May 2019, Google announced that it was phasing out its “Works With Nest” program and introducing a “Works With Google Assistant” program.  The move upset many users that invested smart home tie-ins as it will essentially break compatibility with IFTTT.  While IFTTT applets will continue to work, they will no longer work if Nest accounts are moved to Google accounts.

As per IFTTT,

Please refer to Nest’s post for details, but here is how to keep your Nest Applets working on IFTTT beyond August 31, 2019.

  • Do not migrate your Nest account to a Google account. Migrating your Nest account will cause IFTTT and other Works with Nest integrations to be disconnected. This process is not reversible.

  • Do not disconnect Nest from IFTTT after August 31st as you will not be able to reconnect it. This affects users that do not migrate their Nest accounts to a Google one.

Google says it has plans to eventually roll out a system that will allow IFTTT users to migrate.
