Internet friends: We offer a free 30 day trial for our Membership, and I want to get an automated Slack message from Stripe when someone has 2 days left, so I can reach out personally. Tried to figure it out in Zapier, but can't. Any ideas?

This has been the second most humid summer in DC on record (since 1945) based on the number of hours with dew points over 70 degrees or the level considered GROSS.
