Save a random Wikipedia article to Feedly daily
How this automation works
Post a Placid-generated image to Slack when you save an article in Feedly. It runs whenever you add an article to Saved For Later in Feedly, calls Placid to render your template (you can override layers like title, image, and excerpt), and posts the resulting image URL to your chosen Slack channel. Great for sharing visual previews and curating content for teams using Placid and Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
