What it does

When someone on the People team edits a benefits or PTO policy page in Coda, this workflow detects the change, generates a concise summary of what was added, removed, or revised, and announces it to a Slack channel with a link to the updated doc. It closes the gap between policy changes and employee awareness.

When to use it

Use this when policies live in Coda and updates currently go unnoticed until someone trips over the old rule. Keeps the workforce in sync with the source of truth automatically.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled check detects updated HR policy pages in Coda since the last run.
  2. 2The workflow fetches the previous and current versions of each changed page.
  3. 3It generates a plain-English summary of the differences.
  4. 4A logic step skips trivial edits (typos, formatting) so only substantive changes are announced.
  5. 5Meaningful changes are posted to the Slack announcements channel with a link to the doc.
