How this automation works
Receive an email whenever your Team Fortress 2 account earns a new achievement. The Applet runs when the connected player unlocks an achievement in Team Fortress 2 and sends an HTML email with the achievement name, description, icon, and unlock time. This is useful for Team Fortress 2 players who want instant alerts or a saved record of milestones delivered to Email. Customize the message to fit your tone.

Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
