Sales Automation #1545: Identity Verification with OpenAI + Slack + Bannerbear

Problem

When identity verification depends on hand-offs between OpenAI, Slack, Bannerbear, ownership breaks down and records arrive late in the CRM.

Automating the OpenAI → Slack path keeps the revenue workflow auditable.

Workflow
