For engineering managers
You shouldn't need twenty browser tabs to answer "what's open and who's waiting on review?" PRFlow keeps a live picture of every merge request right in the Slack channel your team already watches.

As a manager you don't write most of the code, but you're the one people ask: "Is that shipping today? Who's reviewing it? Why has it been open all week?" Answering that means opening GitLab, filtering the MR list, checking each pipeline, and remembering who you nudged yesterday.
GitLab's native Slack notifications don't help — they fire a separate message for every push, comment, and pipeline event, so the channel becomes noise you learn to ignore. The signal you actually want, the current state of every open MR, gets buried.
Each merge request is a single Slack message that updates in place. Scroll the channel and you're reading the current state of every MR — not a history of every event.
Pass, fail, or running shows right on the message. You can see what's green and ready to merge versus what's blocked on a broken build — at a glance.
Approval state is on the message too, so it's obvious which MRs are still waiting on a reviewer and which are cleared to go.
Because old MRs keep their place in the channel, the ones that have sat untouched for days are easy to find — and easy to follow up on in the thread.
