Reach it anywhere
Answer it from wherever you are.
You don't have to open the app to keep Propel moving. Approve or reject from Slack or from its email. Answer a question by replying to the email it sent you. Connect your own tools by their address, and every action it takes there asks you first, unless you set that tool to run on its own.
Later Approvals from Slack and email, and tools added by their address, are not in the public beta. They switch on after it.
Can I answer it by email?
Yes. Each morning's summary has Approve and Reject buttons beside each piece. They work once and expire after 72 hours.
When it asks you a question by email, reply in your own words and it reads the answer. Replies count only from your own address.

Slack
Can my team approve from Slack?
Yes. Notices arrive in Slack with Approve, Reject and Answer buttons. Each button is tied to the person it was sent to and works once. Link your Slack account to Propel with one command.
Your tools
Can it use the tools I already have?
Any tool with an MCP server can be added by its web address. Every action it takes there asks you first, unless you decide an action can run without asking. If the tool changes what an action does, that action is switched off until you look again.
