Setting up Nest to send snapshot to phone

I have the Google Nest integration (Google Nest - Home Assistant) setup and working with my Google Nest Doorbell Gen 2 wired. When I click on the camera icon, I get a live stream, great.

I am trying to read the docs and get a setup to send a notification to my android phone with a snapshot when the doorbell is rung. That’s where I am running into problems.

The docs gives an example but I am confused by the implementation because

  1. I am assuming I need to enter my specific ‘device_id’ . Correct?
  2. The event id, based on watching debug, is always changing. So I dont get how i would tell it to send me a snapshot of the latest doorbell ring.

Is there a complete blueprint example anywhere? I searched and could not find. I run 99% of my automations through node red so I am still a rookie when it comes to HA automations, blueprints, etc…
