What it does
Add Wavefront to Slack and it posts to a channel when a draft is ready for review, when someone asks for a review, when a version is approved, and when a page goes live. Each Monday it posts the week's calendar.
Reviewers get a direct message when a draft waits for them, if their Slack email matches their Wavefront email. Buttons link into the app; approving stays there.
