Capture a request in Slack and start the signing workflow without switching apps.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action

Why this helps
Document requests get buried in busy channels and signing starts late.
- Starts signing work from the original request
- Reduces manual PDF upload steps
- Keeps the team moving from one conversation

- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real channel message containing a PDF and signer details.
