Validate DigiCert access after Slack approval
Let a simple reaction move an approved PKI request to an access decision.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added

Action
Check Permission

Why this helps
Approved requests still stall while someone manually confirms access.
- Separate approval from execution
- Avoid checking unapproved requests
- Create a clear audit trail

Questions about this workflow
