One of my favorite automations is a slack bot I made to send me a message when a process finishes: https://github.com/spohngellert-o/SlackProcessTrackerBot

As a data scientist I often run code that takes hours, and getting a slack message when it finishes is super helpful, and it has often helped me catch when a script finishes too early due to some error.

I do the same thing, but I use the Twilio CLI to send me a text so that I can get up and walk around if the process is blocking other work. (:
