Plugins

Wiki ▸ Plugins

Plugins in EventGhost serve mostly two functionalities:

• They can extend the list of actions EventGhost can handle.
• They can generate events that EventGhost can process, like remote receiver plugins.

And they can do both at the same time.

Please feel free to add links to your work!
