How this automation works

Get instant motion alerts and trigger a webhook when your Blink camera detects movement. This Applet runs whenever your Blink (Europe) camera picks up motion and sends a Telegram message while posting data to a webhook endpoint. Ideal for home security monitoring and real-time smart home automation. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL). Customize the message to fit your tone.
