How this automation works

Post Steam achievement notifications to a Slack channel. The Applet runs when you earn a new achievement on Steam and sends a message to the Slack channel you select. This helps gaming communities and friends stay updated on progress in recently-played games like Counter-Strike 2 using Steam and Slack.
