How this automation works

Notify your team in Stoat immediately when you arrive at a specified Location area. This Applet runs whenever your device enters the Location area you choose and posts the configured message to the Stoat channel you specify. It’s useful for teams tracking on-site staff, deliveries, or field visits who want automatic Stoat updates from Location without manual messages. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
