How this automation works

Activate your BotGhost bot automatically when someone rings your Ring Doorbell. This Applet runs whenever your Ring detects a doorbell press and sends a custom event to your connected BotGhost bot. Ideal for automating smart bot alerts or interactive responses triggered by real-world visitors.
