Send snapshot, how to?

Hi,
Today was the day that I started my 15 day demo with blue iris. It seems very likely that it will replace my ispy server completely. There is still one thing that I really do not understand even though I red manual thousand times. How to send snapshot to email.
Here's the thing:
- Someone pushes doorbell button and I'm able to send web requests to Blue iris server
- It generates web request: http://192.168.86.30:81/admin?camera=fr ... a&snapshot to get a snapshot.
- But how do I automate blue iris to send this photo as email attachments immediately as it is taken?
I was wondering about triggers. As a newbie I thought that there has to be trigger that creates alarm which sends snapshot to email. When I look at the triggers there is possibility to use "motion", "DIO" or "digital input". It seems like none of those really works as a trigger in this case..
I'm triggering motion to "on" when home security alarm is on and then I turn motion off when system is disarmed. This all happens in one default profile.
Do I have to create new profile or do I need something else than triggers to succeed. I'm almost done with whole setup...but this makes my head spin because I do not understand how it could work..
