ESP8266 and IFTTT - arduino

Question

I am working on a simple device that alerts me when a button is pushed. At this time I am just trying to get the ESP8266 to activate the webhook event on it's own. It will connect to the wifi, but will not activate the event. I don't know if I'm going about this the wrong way or not. The http.Get() command returns back a -1. How do I activate the webhook? Any help is appreciated. The code is below.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPClient.h>
const char* ssid="ATT2506";
const char* password = "XXXXXXXX";
int ledPin = 2;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Wifi connecting to ");
Serial.println( ssid );
WiFi.begin(ssid,password);
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connecting");
while( WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED ){
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Wifi Connected Success!");
Serial.print("NodeMCU IP Address : ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP() );
digitalWrite( ledPin , LOW);
}
void loop() {
if (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED){
digitalWrite( ledPin , HIGH);
}
if (1==1) { //Check WiFi connection status
HTTPClient http; //Declare an object of class HTTPClient
http.begin("https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/csalarm/with/key/XXXXXXXXXXX"); //Specify request destination
int httpCode = http.GET(); //Send the request
Serial.println(httpCode);
if (httpCode > 0) { //Check the returning code
String payload = http.getString(); //Get the request response payload
Serial.println(1); //Print the response payload
}
http.end(); //Close connection
}
delay(30000); //Send a request every 30 seconds
}
