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.
