Give the week's meal ideas a useful next step
Let Notis review recent meal planning messages on a schedule and turn a clearly actionable idea into a recipe page.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Recipe Page
Create a recipe page on instacart + return shareable url. attempts prod first then falls back to dev; errors from prod bubble up if both fail.
Why this helps
Meal inspiration can accumulate without ever becoming something easy to use or share.
- Creates a regular review of meal ideas
- Turns a useful idea into a shareable reference
- Reduces the burden of remembering where inspiration appeared

- 3Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by running against recent Slack meal planning messages and reviewing the resulting page.
