The workflow

This skill is a 2-step workflow. Everything below is the full definition — nothing hidden. Use it from the Dashboard (no code), the REST API, or an AI agent via MCP.

workflow.json

{
  "name": "Release notes broadcaster",
  "trigger": {
    "type": "webhook"
  },
  "steps": [
    {
      "action": "ai",
      "prompt": "Turn these release notes into a short, friendly customer announcement email. Plain text.",
      "input": "{{trigger.payload.notes}}"
    },
    {
      "action": "email",
      "to": "users@example.com",
      "subject": "What's new this week",
      "body": "{{2.text}}"
    }
  ]
}

2API — one request

curl

curl -X POST https://api.ottersnap.com/v1/workflows \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer otter_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Release notes broadcaster","trigger":{"type":"webhook"},"steps":[{"action":"ai","prompt":"Turn these release notes into a short, friendly customer announcement email. Plain text.","input":"{{trigger.payload.notes}}"},{"action":"email","to":"users@example.com","subject":"What's new this week","body":"{{2.text}}"}]}'

3AI agent — via MCP

Glint ships an official MCP server. Paste this prompt into Claude, Cursor or Codex and it creates the skill for you:

agent prompt

Using the ottersnap-mcp server (npm: ottersnap-mcp), create a Glint workflow with this exact definition:

{
  "name": "Release notes broadcaster",
  "trigger": {
    "type": "webhook"
  },
  "steps": [
    {
      "action": "ai",
      "prompt": "Turn these release notes into a short, friendly customer announcement email. Plain text.",
      "input": "{{trigger.payload.notes}}"
    },
    {
      "action": "email",
      "to": "users@example.com",
      "subject": "What's new this week",
      "body": "{{2.text}}"
    }
  ]
}

Then confirm it was created and tell me how to run it once manually.
