Groxbot + Instatus

FAQ
Does Groxbot have a native Instatus integration?
Yes. Connect Instatus under Plugins. The Bot still asks before anything leaves the thread — sending analytics included.
Can a Bot change live Instatus data?
Not by default. Groxbot is talk-first: draft in the thread, grant access when it hits a wall. Live Instatus writes wait for you.
Do I need a workflow builder?
No. Create a Bot, message it, grant access as needed. There isn't anything to learn — it's like bringing on a coworker.
