Automate Slack with Ottermation by Speak Toomey

Slack is where conversations happen—but those conversations lose their power when alerts drown in noise and key updates live only inside threads. By adding a thin layer of Ottermation, Slack becomes a real-time operations hub: the right people hear the right ping, tasks move themselves forward, and your team spends less time scrolling and more time shipping.
