Create and deliver finished long-form story via email

Automatically catch story prompts and submitter metadata across ChatBot and Gmail. Instantly generate a 2,000-word story, convert it to HTML with a summary, and email both versions when story requests arrive, messages submit, or parameters are provided—so you can skip manual reporting, formatting, and sending.

How this automation delivers review-ready stories

When new message received triggers story generation requests, delays can stall publishing cycles and waste writer time. This automation creates a long-form story, converts it to HTML with a summary, and sends both formats by email—so your team can move drafts to review faster.
