Promote new posts that have a featured image and flag the ones without
When a post is published, a Branch checks for a featured image. Posts with one are promoted in Slack and by email; posts without one are flagged to the editors by email so they can add an image.

How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
WordPress New PostThe workflow starts automatically when a new post is published in WordPress. FlowMattic captures that data for the steps below.
- Branch Has featured image?
The Branch evaluates "Has featured image?": when it's true the Yes path runs, otherwise the No path runs — two outcomes, one workflow.
- Slack Send Channel Message
On the Yes path (condition met) — Slack — post or Schedule a new message to a specific #channel. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Slack account on import.
Email Send EmailOn the Yes path (condition met) — Email — send an email using built-in WP mail function or custom SMTP. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Email account on import.
- Email Send Email
On the No path (otherwise) — Email — send an email using built-in WP mail function or custom SMTP. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Email account on import.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
