Slack alert: deal amount changed above a percentage threshold (visibility, not approval)

Outcome. When a deal's amount moves by more than a set percentage in either direction, the sales channel gets a Slack message flagging the change, so a large discount or a scope increase gets noticed without an approval step slowing the deal down.

When to use it, when not to

• UseUse it for visibility on meaningful amount swings, a deep discount, a scope expansion, a data-entry correction, without blocking the deal from moving forward.
• UseUse it as an early-warning signal that feeds a manual conversation, not as a gate; this fiche never stops the deal or requires sign-off.
• SkipDo not use it for small, routine amount tweaks. Set the threshold high enough that only genuinely large swings alert, or the channel becomes noise.
• SkipDo not use this pattern if an approval workflow already exists for discounts above a threshold. That is a control; this fiche is only a notification and the two easily overlap if not coordinated.
