Document permission requests in Slack agent

[mintlify]

Summary

Documents the agent's permission request flow in Slack. Before the agent runs a third-party action that writes data (for example, sending an email or creating a ticket), it now sends an approval card as an ephemeral message that only the person who triggered the request can see. This prevents other thread participants from being interrupted and clarifies who can approve or deny the action.

Changes

• Added a new "Permission requests" bullet to the "Track progress in real time" section of the Slack agent page, explaining when approval is requested, who sees the card, and how to respond.
• Mirrored the change across the English, French, Spanish, and Chinese versions of the page.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change; no product logic or configuration is modified.

Overview
Documents a new Slack agent UX step: permission requests for third‑party actions that write data (e.g., sending email/creating tickets), including how to approve/deny and who can see the ephemeral approval card.

Mirrors the same addition in the localized Slack agent docs (agent/slack.mdx, es/agent/slack.mdx, fr/agent/slack.mdx, zh/agent/slack.mdx).
