Hello there,

I’m looking for a flow like this:

- Doorbell rings
- Push notification with snapshot to mobile
- In this push notification a question to open the gate yes/no

How can I make this?

In standard flow you’ll need to split it into two flows for the two push cards  
1  
When..  
doorbell  
Then..  
-(create doorbell snapshot)  
-Push message snapshot (after 1s)

_stuff between () depends on the need_

2  
When..  
doorbell  
And..  
Push with question to open the gate yes/no  
Then…  
(only if question was answered yes)  
-open gate

No.  
Next time, you’ll add what you’ve come up with already. Now I feel like a fool 😑

You can achieve this effect if you’re prepared to use a third party messaging app. The idea is to send a single message containing both the snapshot image and a URL. The URL is a Homey webhook which triggers a flow to open the gate. That way you get a single message and if you tap on the link in that message then the gate opens. You can achieve this for example with the Pushover app and probably others too.
