Automated weekly product digest for community posting with human approval
Build a workflow that creates a weekly digest of product releases and publishes it only after human approval. Trigger the drafting flow every Friday at 9:00 a.m. America/New_York. Fetch releases published during the previous Friday-through-Thursday window from Tines What’s New—or an equivalent product-release source—and use Anthropic Claude—or another suitable language model—to produce a concise, source-grounded digest with links to the original announcements. Validate the draft before continuing. Post the draft to Slack—or your team’s chat tool—with a link to an SSO-protected review page where a reviewer can edit, approve, or discard it and select an eligible staff author. Store pending drafts so only the current draft can be approved. On approval through the review API route, revalidate the edited content and selected author, then publish it to the Announcements category in Discourse—or your community or content-publishing platform. Prevent duplicate or incorrectly categorized posts, verify the published author and destination, and send a success or failure notification back to Slack. Keep publishing strictly human-gated and fail closed when validation or external-service checks do not pass. Tools used: Tines, Anthropic, Slack, Discourse, 3B
What this prompt builds
This workflow automates weekly community updates by fetching product releases from Tines What's New, using Claude to draft a digest, and routing it through Slack for human review before publishing to Discourse. Community managers save 15 minutes to an hour per week by starting with a templated, pre-populated post instead of writing updates from scratch. The workflow enforces human approval gates and validation checks to prevent duplicate or incorrectly categorized posts.
The problem
Community managers who need to post consistent weekly product updates spend 15 minutes to an hour writing essentially procedural posts from scratch each week. This workflow automatically drafts a weekly digest of product releases from Tines What's New using Claude, posts it to Slack for human review and editing, and publishes it to Discourse only after approval. Community managers start with a templated, pre-populated post where they can add their own voice instead of drafting updates manually, keeping communities engaged with regular organizational news while saving significant time.
Solution and impact
This workflow saves community managers 15 minutes to an hour every week by automating the drafting process and providing a ready-to-edit post instead of a blank page. It fetches the previous week's product releases, generates a concise digest with links, routes the draft through Slack for team review, and publishes to Discourse only after human approval with strict validation checks. Community teams maintain consistent posting cadence and organizational engagement while spending their time refining voice and strategy rather than compiling routine updates.
