How this automation works

Notify your Slack channel when your Readwise daily review digest is available. This Applet runs once per day when Readwise publishes your daily digest and posts a message to the Slack channel you choose with highlights and a link. Keep teammates informed or remind yourself to review highlights from Readwise each morning using Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
