AutomationTown Jason Staats & Chad Davis

It all just hit the fan in AutomationTown. Jake McCringleberry got something into the water supply and, well, it’s a zombie episode. We’ve got zombies. But we’ve also got integrations! 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.

Well it’s happening again. What’s Jake McCringleberry up to now with this water pipeline that connects the two towns? This feels an awful lot like a build-up to a dramatic season finale.
Also..
Data processing! What do you do when you gotta crunch some numbers, or take data that’s in one format, and convert it to a different format? Let's automate that, on this week’s episode of AutomationTown.

This week, who’s the man behind the madness, Jake McCringleberry? There’s two sides to every coin, and Chad & Jake will meet for the first time. And we’re talking WEBHOOKS! The swiss army knife of integrations - how to get your head around webhooks to bridge the apps you use that won’t integrate, and start thinking like a developer by building your automations in a more modular way.

It’s happening! Chad’s running for mayor of AutomationTown! Not only that, he’s going to automate running for office. This can only end well.
And do you ChatGPT? Of course you do! It’s AI’s killer app, and we’re doubling down on it in this week’s ‘Oops All ChatGPT’ episode of AutomationPod.

This week the most talked about love story of the year takes a new twist, and app builders!
It’s one thing to connect the apps you already use with automation… but to build your own app from scratch? It’s a think! And it’s easier than you might think. We’ll talk through when it’s a good idea, and when you should leave it to the experts.
