How this automation works

Post Team Fortress 2 item details to a Slack channel. The Applet runs when you activate a named scene in Google Assistant; it asks Team Fortress 2 for the item matching the scene name you say and posts the item's title, description, and image to Slack. Useful for TF2 players, collectors, and community managers who want quick item references from Team Fortress 2 sent directly to Slack.

This query returns details for a TF2 item by name, including the item type, default level range, and image URL. Partial matches are accepted; the best match by defindex is returned.
