Build me an agent workflow that publishes a weekly industry trends report every Monday at 7am (America/New_York). Trigger: cron, weekly Monday 07:00 ET.

Step 1 — Pull the data from NewsWhip for the prior 7 days. Use Search Articles (Historical) with Lucene-style filters scoped to our industry topics and language=en, sorted by fb_total_interactions and again by nw_score to get two ranked views of the top stories. Also call Get Articles by Region and Category for our primary region and category over a 168-hour window. From the combined result set, identify: (a) the dominant themes of the week, (b) rising-momentum stories that have a high predicted_interactions value but are still early in their lifecycle, (c) the top authors and publishers by volume and by engagement, and (d) any notable shifts in publisher mix vs. a typical week.

Step 2 — Synthesize a narrative trends report. Use this consistent structure every week so reports are comparable over time:

1) Executive summary (3-5 sentences). 2) Dominant themes this week (3-5 themes, each with a short paragraph and 2-3 representative article links). 3) Rising momentum (stories flagged by high predicted engagement but still early; explain why each one matters). 4) Publisher and author mix (who is owning the conversation, what shifted vs. last week, top 5 publishers and top 5 authors). 5) Three to five suggested angles our team could write or pitch, each with a one-line rationale tying it back to the data.

Step 3 — Save the report to Notion. Use Create a Page in the Trend Research database. Set structured properties: Week of (date, the Monday of the report week), Category (select, our industry topic), Top story (text, headline of the #1 article by engagement), and Publishers tracked (number). The page body should contain the full report from Step 2, formatted with proper Notion headings, bullet lists, and links.

Step 4 — Email the recap. Use Gmail Send a Message to the marketing distribution list (configurable, e.g. marketing@company.com). Subject: "Industry trends: week of {{Monday date}}". Body: the executive summary, the three to five suggested angles, and a link to the new Notion page for the full report. Keep the email body short and skimmable; the Notion page is the source of truth.

Inputs the agent should expose as configurable: industry topics / Lucene query, region, category, language, NewsWhip lookback hours (default 168), Notion database id, Notion property field names, Gmail sender, Gmail recipients, and report timezone. Bake in error handling so an empty NewsWhip response still produces a short "quiet week" report rather than a failed run.
