Send a Gmail message when you press the Button widget
How this automation works
Automatically send an emergency Gmail alert and activate a HomeSeer device when a specific Webhook event is received. This applet runs whenever your defined web request (Webhook) is triggered, sending an email and switching on your selected device. Ideal for remote monitoring, urgent alerts, or smart home safety automation. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
