"We just added Workflows, and it’s made a big improvement. Instead of communicating handoffs via email or Microsoft Teams, we can automate it step by step: The content creator drafts content, then it’s passed to the content master for review, then it goes to AI Actions for translation, then it goes to a local marketer to approve and publish."
