Paypal + Grist + Slack: When a new sale is recorded in PayPal, a new record is created in a Grist sheet to track the transaction. A Slack message is then sent to a designated channel, notifying the team of the new sale and providing a link to the Grist record.
Paypal + Grist + X (Twitter): A new sale is made via PayPal and recorded in Grist. The system then posts a tweet on X (Twitter) announcing the sale. The Tweet will include details pulled from Grist about the sale, ensuring accurate product and pricing information.
