§ The problem

What it looks like today.

Copy and paste

The agenda is published in one system and retyped on the website.

Stale pages

The website still shows last week's meeting when someone forgets.

Who checked it?

Posting is a public act; some clerks want to approve before it goes live.

§ 01 / Nightly publishing

Upcoming meetings, as web pages.

Every night SentraBridge takes upcoming CivicCA meetings with a published agenda and adds them as pages on the Sentra CMS website. Any other site with an API works the same way.

  • Only meetings with a published agenda
  • Map fields to your page layout
  • Pair with Laserfiche filing

§ 02 / A final look

Approval before it's public.

Add an approval step and the flow pauses until the clerk approves. The meetings are read again on approval, so late changes are picked up.

  • Holds meeting IDs only
  • Logged: who approved and when
  • Expires if nobody answers
