How this automation works
Post your most recent Visualizer Coffee espresso shot with the tag you choose to Slack. It runs when you press the Button widget — the applet asks Visualizer Coffee for your latest shots matching the tag you configure and posts a summary to the Slack channel you pick. Perfect for sharing brew results with teammates or a coffee group, it sends shot details, brew parameters, and an image link to Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
