Retrieve Slack replies for a transaction thread
Bring the decision context behind a transaction alert back into view when the status changes.
Trigger
Webhook received

Action
Retrieve conversation replies

Why this helps
Important approvals and explanations are often buried in replies below the original transaction alert.
- Recover hidden context
