  • Channel routing by workspace/team/tag with throttling & de-dupe

  • Rich blocks with step traces, links to Runs Explorer, and artifacts

FAQs

Can we restrict to specific channels?

Yes. Use Routing Rules and per-channel installations.

Do approvals map to RBAC?

Yes. Only users with the configured FlowForge roles can approve gated steps.

Can we post as user vs bot?

Bot user is default; user-as-app is supported where Slack allows.
