Log invoice approval decisions from Slack to Google Sheets

What This Workflow Does Listens for button clicks from the Invoice → Slack Approval workflow. When someone clicks Approve, Reject, or Flag on an invoice in Slack, this workflow captures that decision, logs it to Google Sheets, and sends a confirmation notification.

How It Works 1. Webhook Trigger – Receives POST request from Slack when a button is clicked 2. Parse Payload – Extracts the JSON payload from Slack's request body 3. Extract Decision Data – Pulls decision, user info, and invoice details from the message 4. Route by Decision – Branches to Approved, Rejected, or Flagged path 5. Log to Sheets – Appends invoice data to the appropriate sheet tab 6. Notify via Slack – Sends confirmation DM to the approver

Decision Routes - ✅ Approved → Logs to "Approved" sheet → DM confirmation - ❌ Rejected → Logs to "Rejected" sheet → DM confirmation - 🚩 Flagged → Logs to "Flagged" sheet → DM for manual review
