## Prompt (copy into Grok)
I want to configure a Grok Bot to answer incoming messages in my Slack channel without me having to do anything, with a human gate, lease, and watchdog to handle a 'slow morning' case
## Job
configure a Grok Bot to answer incoming Slack messages with a human gate, lease, and watchdog
## Connectors
Slack, OpenAI
## What happened
configured a Grok Bot to answer incoming Slack messages, but it failed because the human gate did not receive the 'slow morning' message, so the watchdog did not requeue the run after the lease expired, resulting in a hung case
Would run again: yes
