#22 — A note with a next step: building an automation we can inspect

Description and use

Automating the creation of a review task from a note prefixed with DEMO-AUTO-20261027 in Micelclaw using n8n integration.

Problem

Automating a simple hand‑off from a note to a review task so that a marker‑prefixed note triggers a task creation.

Outcome

The demonstration workflow was created, activated, tested with a new note, and produced the expected review task. The workflow remains inactive after the test.

Workflow

• Listen for new note event
• Retrieve created note by ID
• Check if title starts with DEMO-AUTO-20261027
• If true, create review task with note title

Evidence

The rule is simple: when a note is created, read it, check the beginning of its title and, if the marker matches, create a task to review it.

Source

The workflow has four visible steps: Note created, Get created note, Matches demo prefix and Create review task.

Source

We then inspect the execution, not just the state of the activation switch. The recorded execution finishes successfully at Create review task.

Source

The last check happens outside the canvas: we inspect the resulting task in our task list. There is one matching task, titled Review note: DEMO-AUTO-20261027 — Venue brief.
