Send a Gmail message when you press the Button widget
How this automation works
Send an email automatically when your myStrom Button is pressed. This Applet runs as soon as a button action, such as a single or long press, is detected and sends a Gmail message. Ideal for quick alerts, reminders, or team notifications — customize the message to fit your tone. Note: Install the IFTTT app and add the Button widget to your home screen.
