For those building their brands on social media, analytics is a necessity.

Stripe workflow – Derricks
--------------------------

For small businesses with online marketplaces, Stripe is one of the most popular software services to use for payment processing and business management. The Stripe workflow script takes full advantage of this software and notifies the user of their Stripe balance at any time. By using two “if” statements, the script detects when the account is above or below a certain amount and sends the user an e-mail. The e-mail subject lines and bodies can also be customized to provide you with the exact information you need. Managing your money is critical when running a small business. Having the ability to be automatically notified when your accounts move past their budget parameters gives you some peace of mind and allows you to focus on other aspects.

Slack and Trello are two of the top business platforms being used today and for good reason. By joining the abilities of both using a WayScript program, it provides users with even more functionality.

To begin, simply connect your Slack workspace, choose a channel, then select keyword messages from that channel. Add the Trello board of your choosing and you’re good to go!
