What it does

This workflow adds a human checkpoint before any brief is written. It finds a trending topic via Brave Search, posts a short pitch into a Discord channel, and pauses. If a team member approves, it spends the LLM and image budget to produce a full short-form video brief with a generated thumbnail in Notion. If no one approves, nothing downstream runs.

When to use it

Use it when you want trend ideas surfaced automatically but refuse to auto-publish briefs without an editor's eye, or when you want to control image-generation spend by only rendering thumbnails for approved ideas.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule kicks off the run.
  2. 2Brave Search returns current trending results for your seeds.
  3. 3An OpenAI step compresses the top candidate into a one-line pitch.
  4. 4The pitch is posted to Discord with approve/reject reactions, and the run waits.
  5. 5A logic gate checks the reaction; only an approval continues.
  6. 6OpenAI writes the full brief and Generate Image renders the thumbnail.
  7. 7The approved brief and image are written to Notion.
