How this automation works
Get instant updates from the Department of Defense whenever new articles are published. This Applet runs when a new DOD news article appears and triggers a custom BotGhost event with details about the article. Perfect for developers or community managers who want to automate bot actions based on military news updates. Note: This requires configuration of a custom event in BotGhost.
