What it does

Lets anyone kick off creative generation straight from Slack. When someone posts a brief in the designated channel, the workflow interprets the message into a clean prompt set, generates a handful of ad mockups, and replies in the same thread with the images. A confirm action saves the chosen ones into the Airtable review board.

When to use it

When you want zero-friction ideation — no form, no tool switching. Great for fast brainstorming where a marketer just types an idea and wants to see it visualized in seconds.

How it works

  1. 1A Slack message in the briefs channel triggers the run.
  2. 2A logic step parses the natural-language brief into structured prompt variants.
  3. 3The generate-image tool renders each variant.
  4. 4The workflow replies in-thread with the mockups and a save prompt.
  5. 5On confirmation, selected variants are written to the Airtable review board as Pending.
