Jason Staats & Chad Davis — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0500

What do you do when that app you have just...doesn’t integrate? Workarounds, back doors, hacks. This week we’re hacking your integrations, on this, the season finale of AutomationTown.

Okay okay okay hear me out: printing automation. No come back, it’ll be good, I swear.

Instead of covering something people want to talk about, Chad & Jason cover printers, and how to build them into your cloud Zapier or Make workflows. Why is that a thing that exists? Why is it a tool you should still have in your toolbelt? Why are you 5 sentences deep into a podcast episode description?

The boys also meet Buzz McTompkins, the head of 104.3 TheBuzz, Stuart from Radio Shack calls in with another embarrassing question and we automate a preschool.

Season 1 | AutomationTown Trailer

Jason Staats & Chad Davis — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 00:05:45 -0400

Imagine this...you're at your job and it's time to do that one thing you absolutely despise. So you start working on it and immediately start wishing the computer would do it for you.

Like, "Why do I have to do this?"

There's got to be a better way.

No more click this, click that, over and over again. Somehow, it's just done for you.

That's what this podcast is trying to do.

Give you a seat at the table as we discuss ways to automate and eliminate the things we want to forget about at work.

If you make it to the end of the trailer, let us know what you think on Twitter (@AutomationTown).

We know 4 minutes is a lot, so thank you.
