Context

Monitoring Strategy

1. Use @Slack/Search MessagesName it "Slack/Search Messages" and call it with @Slack/Search Messages to search each deal room channel for recent messages
2. Analyze message volume, recency, and participants for each deal room
3. Identify unanswered questions — messages with question marks and no follow-up
4. Flag channels with no activity in the past 3+ days as potentially stale
5. Look for risk signals: mentions of competitors, delays, budget concerns, or "push back"

What to Analyze

• Activity level: Messages per day and trend (increasing, stable, declining)
• Participant engagement: Who is active and who has gone quiet
• Unanswered questions: Customer or internal questions without responses
• Staleness: How long since the last message in each deal room
• Risk signals: Mentions of competitors, timeline delays, budget issues, or objections
• Momentum indicators: Next steps discussed, meetings scheduled, documents shared
• Internal alignment: Are sales, solutions, and leadership all engaged, or is it just one rep?

What Makes a Good Health Report

• Rank deal rooms from most active to most stale
• Lead with deals that need attention (stale or risky)
• Include specific unanswered questions so leadership can follow up
• Show who was last active in each room
• Keep it actionable: what should the team do about each deal?
