Post a Slack update

Posts a message to a Slack channel. Public or external posts are held for approval under the default autonomy policy.

Template	send-slack-update
Works on	An external API — no workspace
Where a person acts	Approve Slack update — a person approves or rejects, waiting up to 24h

The workflow

Drawn from the template spec at build time. Bookkeeping nodes that only record status are left out; amber nodes are where a person acts.

Maturity: seeded, not yet proven

Seeded content rather than a proven flow. The connector, the agents, and the governance it relies on exist, but only the engineering flow has a complete, exercised end-to-end path today. See product overview §8.

Use it

Every built-in template is seeded into the workflow library and can be cloned, edited on the visual canvas, and versioned — see architecture for the node types. The spec lives in packages/shared/src/workflow/templates/sendSlackUpdate.ts.
