Finance Automation #4488: Translation Workflow with Zendesk + Slack + Magento

Problem

translation workflow between Zendesk, Slack, Magento is error-prone when finance teams reconcile billing, invoices, or ledger entries by hand.

Automating validations before writes to Slack lowers reconciliation risk.
