Schedule by Zapier + Slack + PDF Vector + Filter by Zapier

Search academic publications with PDF Vector and send Slack channel messages every day

Research teams struggle to stay current with the overwhelming volume of academic papers published daily in their field, often missing critical research that could impact their work. This integration automatically searches academic databases each day using PDF Vector, applies your predefined search criteria to filter for relevant papers, and delivers a curated list of matching publications directly to your team's Slack channel. By automating literature monitoring with your custom filters, your research team will never miss important publications and can focus their time on reading and analysis rather than manual paper discovery.
