Review your directory category inventory in Slack
Category cleanup is easier when everyone is looking at the same inventory. Notis can fetch the current data categories as soon as the topic comes up.

- Help the team decide what needs further review while context is fresh.

Questions about this workflow
Does this delete or merge categories?
No. It only fetches data categories so the team can review them.
Are data categories the same as top categories?
The action description says they are distinct. The returned list should be treated as the data category inventory.
