Keep IT vendors informed when Slack requests arrive

Overview

Slack-only requests leave IT chasing context and vendors out of the loop, risking prolonged outages. This workflow forwards channel requests to vendor inboxes and posts a clear receipt to the requester, creating a single communication trail and eliminating lost handoffs. IT gains predictable vendor engagement and clearer incident ownership.

Notable Features

  • Forward channel messages to vendors
