Block promo scheduling until the guest clip is cleared in Notion

When someone moves a clip to "Ready to schedule" in Notion, this verifies the matching approval record exists and is unexpired before allowing it.

What it does

Acts as a gate between your content board and your social queue. The moment a clip card is moved to a "Ready to schedule" state in Notion, the workflow looks up that clip's rights status, confirms the guest approved it and the approval hasn't lapsed, and only then sends it to publishing. Anything missing approval gets bounced back with a reason.

When to use it

Use it if clips sometimes get scheduled before the guest has signed off, creating takedown risk. This enforces "approved-or-it-doesn't-ship" without slowing down the clips that are already cleared.

How it works

  1. 1A Notion event triggers when a clip card enters the "Ready to schedule" status.
  2. 2An action reads the clip's rights fields from the Notion rights database (approval flag, allowed platforms, expiry).
  3. 3A logic step decides: approved and unexpired and platform-allowed, or not.
  4. 4If cleared, a post-to-platforms action publishes the clip to the allowed channels only.
  5. 5If not cleared, the output moves the card to "Needs approval" and notes the failing condition for the producer.
