Finance Automation #4200: Document Generation with Slack + Google Sheets + Magento

Problem

document generation between Slack, Google Sheets, Magento is error-prone when finance teams reconcile billing, invoices, or ledger entries by hand.

Automating validations before writes to Google Sheets lowers reconciliation risk.
