Unfortunately, due to the changes which Google made in September, there is not.

For more information please see here: viewtopic.php?t=1102

So now, as referenced in the post above, if you want to use your Google device to have Push2Run and SetVol to change the volume of your computer to any percent between 0 and 100 inclusive, you would need 101 IFTTT applets - one for each percent - which is really too bad and I'm sure considered by many, if not most, if not all, not worth the effort.

However, variable text is still supported in Push2Run without any changes needed for Push2Run itself or your Push2Run card as you can still drive that functionality with Siri and an Apple iPhone or iPad as described here: https://www.push2run.com/help/setup_App ... ullet.html

This process does not involve either Google or IFTTT, but rather just Siri. So, "Siri, change my computer's volume to 55 percent" is done with one and only one setup; and that same setup can be used for any variable text command you want to send to Push2Run to control your computer.
