What it does

Type a Slack slash command with a vendor name and this workflow returns, in seconds, that vendor's full inactive-seat list, the monthly spend you could reclaim, and an inline button to open deprovision approvals for the whole batch. It is the ad-hoc counterpart to the scheduled sweep, for when someone asks "how much are we wasting on tool X right now?"

When to use it

Use it during budget reviews, vendor renewals, or whenever a stakeholder wants an instant reclamation answer without waiting for the weekly run. No dashboard login required, the answer lands in the channel.

  4. 4Compute the inactive-seat list and total reclaimable monthly spend.
  5. 5Reply in Slack with the breakdown and an "Open deprovision approvals" button.
  6. 6On click, create the batch approval item on the Monday board.
