Review CRM changes with the right context

Why this helps
Change requests are easy to misread when the request, system context, and decision notes are scattered across tools.
- Bring the change request and CRM metadata into one review brief.
- Make configuration discussions more concrete.
- Keep review work tied to the notes that explain the request.

- 2Ask Notis to create an automation that retrieves EspoCRM metadata and uses relevant Grist change notes to prepare a review brief when a request arrives.
- 3Select an incoming webhook trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Send one real example request through your backend and review the brief.
