What it does

This workflow puts a human approval gate between drafting and sending. It watches a Notion changelog database and reacts when an editor changes an entry's status to "Approved." It pulls the approved entry's title, summary, and detail fields, then asks OpenAI to expand them into a finished customer email — subject line, friendly intro, a bulleted list of what changed, and a clear call to action. Because the trigger is the approval flip itself, copy only goes out once a person has reviewed it in Notion. The email is then sent via Gmail to your announcement audience.

When to use it

Use it when you want the speed of automated copy generation but refuse to auto-send anything customer-facing. It suits teams that already draft changelogs in Notion and need a clean, auditable "approve to ship" step. The status field doubles as a record of who approved what, so nothing reaches inboxes by accident.

How it works

  1. 1A Notion trigger fires when a changelog entry's status property changes to "Approved."
  2. 2A logic step confirms the new status is exactly "Approved" and the entry has not already been sent.
  3. 3OpenAI expands the entry fields into a complete customer announcement email.
  4. 4Gmail sends the finished email to your announcement list and the entry is left ready to mark as sent.
