Run a daily-outlier workflow

The "Daily outlier to draft" template wakes up every morning, picks the highest-scoring idea from your backlog, drafts a script via BYOK Claude Code, and pauses for editorial approval before voicing.

Pre-reqs

• A connected research source (vidIQ or AI-suggested ideas) so the backlog has ideas in status='new'.
• A workspace BYOK key, if you want the script step to use your quota.

Setup

1. Open Workflows → New.
2. In the Templates sidebar, click Daily outlier to draft.
3. The YAML lands in the editor. Adjust the timezone, the channelId input, and the trigger schedule if you want a different time.
4. Click Save and continue, then Run now to test the first execution.

What happens at 09:00 every day

1. workflow.cron ticks (BullMQ repeatable).
2. A new workflow_runs row is created with the parsed steps snapshotted.
3. The agent worker picks up the run.
4. pick_idea queries the highest-scoring backlog idea and outputs { ideaId, title, confidenceScore }.
5. write_script runs generateScript through your Claude Code key. The output is a scriptVersionId you can reference downstream.
6. editorial_review (gate) pauses the run. You get a banner in /workflows/runs/[id] with Approve and Decline buttons.
7. Once you Approve, the run resumes from the next step (voice, render, etc., depending on how you extended the template).
