Finance Automation #4305: Social Media Posting with OpenAI + Slack + Shopify

Problem

social media posting between OpenAI, Slack, Shopify is error-prone when finance teams reconcile billing, invoices, or ledger entries by hand.

Automating validations before writes to Slack lowers reconciliation risk.

Workflow

Scheduled pull from OpenAI → reconciliation rules → write summary to Slack.
