What it does

Adds a human approval gate between an article draft and a finished narrated video, so nothing ships in your brand voice without a sign-off.

When to use it

Use it when legal, brand, or executive review must approve narration before a video goes out, but you still want the heavy lifting automated.

How it works

  1. 1A new document appears in the watched Google Drive folder, firing the trigger.
  2. 2The doc text is read and condensed into a narration script.
  3. 3ElevenLabs generates a short preview voiceover from the script.
  4. 4The script and preview audio are posted to a Slack channel with Approve and Reject actions.
  5. 5A logic branch waits on the response: reject ends the run; approve continues.
  6. 6Replicate renders the full explainer clip with the approved narration.
  7. 7The final MP4 is saved back to the Drive folder and the approver is notified in Slack.
