No worries to share, this is my automation:

alias: Notify Doorbell
description: Send notification when doorbell is pressed
trigger:
  - platform: device
    device_id: 873c97cf65cdddc3ce18c6efdbc6493a
    domain: nest
    type: doorbell_chime
condition: []
action:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: /config/www/entrance.jpg
    entity_id: camera.entrance
  - service: notify.hangouts_stian
    data:
      message: Doorbell ringing!
  - delay: '00:00:01'
  - service: notify.hangouts_stian
    data:
      message: Image capture from doorbell
      data:
        image_file: /config/www/entrance.jpg
mode: single

I split the notification in two to let the capture of image complete before sending the image. Since I do not want delay for the first notification I found it better to split it up. Only thing I have done outside of this is to check the “preload stream” on the camera. Not sure if this is important.
