How this automation works
Send quick updates to a Stoat channel with a single tap. This Applet runs whenever you press the Button widget and posts your message to the Stoat channel you specify. Great for instant alerts, status updates, or team check-ins when you want to notify a Stoat channel without opening the app. Note: Install the IFTTT app and add the widget to your home screen.
