Post emailed messages to Slack channel
How this automation works
Post new Readwise highlights to Slack to keep your team informed. This Applet runs whenever a new highlight is added in Readwise and posts the highlight text, source, author, time, and a link to the Slack channel you choose. It's useful for teams and individuals who want to share reading notes, research, or important excerpts across Slack for discussion and easy reference using Readwise and Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
