How do they track us with software

I hear that all our emails and Slack messages etc are always tracked and I understand tracking is a simply process for the tools to do “functionally” but for my employer to actually comb through my 1000s of slack messages, emails, comments in our SaaS stack etc how would they go about “building a case” against me. I have a hard time fishing for emails and certain slack messages I sent trying to get details about a project etc, so are they just searching keywords within all my comms throughout the team? I'm not sure how these tools work, but it seems like someone would have to complain about something, flag to my boss, then my boss has to search recent chat etc, but if I said something that was factually inaccurate, but not all “explicit” about a product 7 months (but they don't know it was 7 month ago)…
