How this automation works

Stay on top of your network by automatically logging new devices detected by Fing to Slack and Remember The Milk. This Applet runs whenever Fing spots a new device on any connected Fingbox and posts its details to a Slack channel while also adding a corresponding task to your RTM list. Perfect for IT admins or home users wanting instant visibility and to-dos for newly connected devices. Customize the message to fit your tone.
