Description

Spike Type

No response

Goal

Right now, if someone makes several change requests after each other relating to similar things, the related slack channel is spammed with messages from the finishline slackbot. Find a way to consolodate this messages - this could be within a thread, but this would involve reworking how we do update notifications.

Same goes for reimbursement requests.

Reason for Spike

We don't want slackbot notifications to take over our slack channels

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Begin by locating the FinishLine Slackbot notification paths for change requests and reimbursement requests, then determine how related notifications are currently emitted. Done should mean a decided and implemented consolidation approach that reduces channel spam for both notification types.
