Sales Automation #1584: Backup Automation with Notion + Email + AWS S3

Problem

Reps lose time copying backup automation updates from Notion into Email, which delays follow-ups and skews pipeline reporting.

This pattern connects the stack so sales data stays in sync without manual exports.

Workflow

Notion stage change → map pipeline fields → upsert Email → log activity for backup automation.
