What it does

Produces three AI thumbnail options for a flagged post and drops them into Slack for a human to choose. The approved image is saved to the post record and the post is queued for scheduling. If none are approved, a new set is generated automatically.

When to use it

Use this when brand-sensitive accounts require a person to sign off on artwork before anything publishes, but you still want the generation and filing handled automatically.

How it works

  1. 1Trigger fires when an Airtable post is marked "Generate art".
  2. 2Three thumbnail variants are generated from the post copy.
  3. 3The variants are posted to a Slack review channel with Approve and Regenerate actions.
  4. 4A logic step branches on the response: approval continues, regenerate loops back to step 2.
  5. 5The approved variant is written to the Airtable row and its status set to "Scheduled".
