📒 Keeping the directory full

New businesses come in from two places — your newsletter and event submissions. A shared "cleanup" skill then fills in the details for whatever gets added.

Directory: Check newsletter for new businesses

When: Saturdays at 12 AM.

1. Reads your latest newsletter.
2. Pulls out every Valley business, venue, or spot you mentioned.
3. Checks which ones are already on the directory and skips those.
4. Adds the genuinely new ones and hands them to the cleanup skill to fill in.

In short: Mines your weekly newsletter for places you talked about and makes sure they all end up on the directory.

SFV Event Business Intake

When: Sundays at 12 AM.

1. Reads new event submissions from your Tally form.
2. Figures out the actual business behind each event — usually the venue, not the person promoting it.
3. Decides where it belongs: the main directory (places you can visit) or the Groups & Meetups list (clubs, classes, recurring meetups).
4. Skips anything already listed or that isn't a real business.
5. Adds it, and sends new directory businesses to the cleanup skill.

In short: Turns event submissions into directory listings by finding the real venue behind each event and filing it in the right place.

SFV directory business cleanup

When: Every day at 12 AM. (This is the shared "fill in the details" step the two skills above both hand off to.)

1. Finds directory listings that are still missing their details.
2. Looks each business up online — its website, Yelp, Google Maps, Facebook, news coverage.
3. Fills in the description, address, phone, website, category, tags, and neighborhood.
4. Double-checks everything saved correctly and reports what it did.

In short: The research assistant. Takes a bare name-and-address listing and turns it into a complete, accurate directory entry — only using real info it can find online, never making things up.

📅 Keeping the events calendar clean

Two routines run overnight to keep the events calendar tidy and connected to the businesses.

SFV Event Cleanup

When: Every day at 12 AM.

1. Tidies up each upcoming event: fixes the address, the times, and the title's capitalization.
2. Rebuilds the "When?" date/time line so it's consistent.
3. Cleans junk out of ticket links, fixes the price, and writes a short description if one's missing.
4. Tags each event with its neighborhood.
5. Spots events submitted twice and merges them into one, keeping the original.
6. Remembers what it already cleaned, so each night it only works on what's new or changed.

In short: The nightly tidy-up for the whole events calendar. Careful by design — if something's unclear, it leaves it alone and flags it for you instead of guessing.

Events: Add known locations to upcoming events

When: Weekdays at 2 AM.

1. Looks at upcoming events that aren't linked to a business yet.
2. Works out the venue from the event's address or title.
3. Searches the directory for that business.
4. When it's a confident match, links the event to the business listing.

In short: Connects each event to its venue's directory page, so people browsing the calendar can click straight through to the business. It only links when it's sure, and never overwrites a link you've already set.

🔗 How it all flows: Your newsletter and event submissions feed new businesses in → the daily cleanup fills in their details → overnight, the events calendar gets tidied and linked back to those businesses.
