Save new photos you're tagged in on Facebook to Dropbox
How this automation works
Automate your connected home and file management effortlessly. This Applet runs when your Webhook event fires, powering on a myStrom device, saving a text file to Dropbox, switching off Philips Hue lights, and controlling your SwitchBot TV remote. Ideal for coordinating multiple smart actions triggered by a single custom event. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
