This video shows how I built a Kestra automation that turns a Notion "Published" entry into a Hugo markdown post, downloads the thumbnail, and creates a GitLab merge request so my static site (Cloudflare Workers) can publish the new video — all without manual edits to the site. I walk through the webhook trigger, parsing Notion data in Kestra, the Python template script, thumbnail download, and the Docker-based merge-request workflow with glab.
