Get an SMS when Wyze detects motion
How this automation works
Update a BambooHR employee record directly from a tagged SMS to make fast HR changes remotely. When you send an SMS containing the configured hashtag, this Applet reads the message, uses the message text to locate the employee by work email, and updates the BambooHR fields you choose. It's useful for managers who need to change department, job title, or location on the go using SMS and BambooHR.
