Auto-summarise long posts and cross-post short ones

When a post is published, a Text Formatter step counts its words (an approximate count of the post content) and a Branch splits on 1000. Long-form posts get an AI summary emailed to the editor; shorter posts are cross-posted to X with their title and link.

Ease of use and terrific support from the founder. Tons of integrations and regular updates. The Flowmattic custom app is great especially if you want to integrate apps that aren't available yet inside Flowmattic.
