Hear the instructions while you work
Make a clear process note from Slack listenable so you can follow along without repeatedly switching back to the channel.
Trigger

- Review process guidance while working in another app.
- Reduce repeated back-and-forth between Slack and the task.
- Make a useful how-to message available in a hands-free format.
