Slack integration. Planned report updates.
Slack: purpose and availability
The planned Slack connection would send a concise report update to a chosen conversation, identifying the vehicle, check date and review needed. It is not available to install today. The proposed message would help assign a follow-up while the original report remains the source for the finding.
Proposed uses
Put findings in context
Start the conversation with the registration, check date and the reason a review is needed.
Reduce manual handovers
Plan a consistent update for each completed check instead of copying details into a new message.
Keep follow ups together
Discuss the next question in a thread your team can return to.
