The task
The guide is aimed at project and program managers, product leads and team leads who write a recurring status update for their team. The busywork it targets has two parts. Requests and bug reports arrive in a chat channel and have to be turned into tasks with an owner. Once a week, someone has to pull the current state of the work together into a report and tell the team where to find it.
What they did
The guide walks through building one agent in conversation. The user describes the job, points the agent at the project database and the feedback channel in Slack, and answers its follow-up questions. The agent then writes its own instructions, suggests triggers and lists the tools and access it needs. For the first job, each new message in the feedback channel becomes a task in the project database, assigned to the user and moved to the status Assigned. For the second job, the agent writes a weekly update from the same database and saves it as a new page in a separate database of weekly updates. The guide has the user fix the sections of every report: current status, open action items, blockers and next milestones. The Slack summary is kept to a few highlights with a link back to the full page. Before going live, the user tests both triggers end to end.
Where the approval sits
The agent drafts the weekly report but does not share it on its own. The guide tells the user to instruct the agent to post the Slack summary only when the status of a report changes to Published. Until a person sets that status, the draft stays in the database, where it can be read and edited. The task filing from the feedback channel has no review step in this setup.
Worth knowing
The source is a guide written by the vendor. It explains how to set the agent up and reports no results from any team. The review step depends on how the user words the agent's instructions, so it is a convention the agent follows, and Notion also has separate approval settings for agents. The guide warns that sharing an agent can also share what it can reach, and that a renamed property or a new status option can break its logic, so it suggests testing again after changes to the database.
