Grok Bot schedules reorders and links Slack by workspace name

What changed
The November 4, 2026 Grok Bot changelog, "Scheduled reorders and Slack linking," says:
- A scheduled reorder of your usual list asks for one approval per order, and that approval shows the checkout total.
- You can connect your personal tailnet from the Tailscale plugin, so Bots can reach MCP servers on it.
- When a reply needs your Tailscale device, the chat shows a Tailscale connect card.
Linking a Slack workspace now ends on a page that names the workspace, with See your connections and Open Slack. Routines you schedule can run on your Bot computer while it is connected to your tailnet, and the computer runs only what you send it yourself. If Google ends a connector's access again soon after you reconnect, the Bot explains why it may not last and links your Google security checkup.
Fixes the same day: a checkout that is still finishing stays on Order submitted instead of saying the order could not be confirmed. Greetings keep a working status line such as Thinking it through. Tailscale no longer signs you out when a login is briefly missing, and a real sign-out says why. In the last day before a reset, usage and trial labels count down in hours or minutes.
Why it matters
A repeating grocery or supply order is no longer a standing charge you only notice on the statement. Each scheduled reorder stops for one approval, and that card shows the total. If the total looks wrong, that is the moment to stop it.
Tailscale is the path for an MCP server that is not on the public internet. Connect the personal tailnet from the plugin. If a reply needs your device, the chat asks with a connect card instead of failing closed with no next step. Scheduled routines can use the Bot computer on that tailnet, and the changelog says the computer runs only what you send it yourself.
The Slack finish screen names the workspace you just linked. Use that to catch a link to the wrong workspace before people start messaging the Bot there.

How does a Bot reach an MCP server on my tailnet?
