Trace a Flutterwave transaction timeline from Slack

Why this helps
Investigating a payment can require repeated searches to piece together what happened and when.
- See a transaction's event sequence without a separate manual search.
- Keep investigation results tied to the original question.
- Reduce repeated status-check interruptions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Flutterwave to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create an automation or open Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Use one instruction to retrieve the timeline only for a clearly identified Flutterwave transaction and report the sequence of events.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a run-report channel; test with one known transaction.
