What it does

Turns the moment a marketing string is approved in Coda into a clean translation hand-off. It reads the approved row, splits the work across your target locales, drops a ready-to-translate brief into a shared Google Drive folder, and notifies the localization team so nobody has to babysit the review table.

When to use it

Use it when copy is reviewed and approved in Coda but translation kickoff is still manual — someone copy-pastes strings, files Drive docs, and Slacks vendors. This removes that gap so approval directly triggers the next stage.

How it works

  1. 1A Coda row changes and the trigger fires.
  2. 2A filter checks that the Status column equals "Approved" and a translation doc was not already created.
  3. 3The flow reads the source string, context notes, and target-locale list from the row.
  4. 4For each locale it creates a translation brief file in the shared Google Drive folder.
  5. 5It posts a Slack message to the localization channel linking every brief and the source row.
