- Make verification requests visible in the original conversation.
- Avoid carrying an informal list of unchecked contacts.

- 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to verify the email in a Slack message when your review reaction is added, and select the reaction added trigger.
- 3Set the emoji and an appropriate run report channel, then test with one real message containing an email.
