Field Notes: Vol 4-2025

🌼🌦️ April showers bring… smarter automations! Welcome to the April edition of MESA Field Notes. With spring in full swing, we’ve been nurturing new apps, simplifying everyday tasks, and expanding our library of time-saving templates. It’s all about giving you a stronger starting point—so you can go further, faster.

Here’s what we’ve been working on this month:
