Follow the steps

  1. Separate preparing an action from executing it.
  2. Store the proposed payload with a unique ID.
  3. Show the exact details to the authorised reviewer.
  4. Execute the approved payload once and record the outcome.

Worked example

Proposal #42
Action: send webinar reminder
Recipient: learner@example.test
Text: [exact approved reminder]
State: pending -> approved -> sent

Read the example once, then explain each part aloud in your own words. If it includes Python, you can understand the idea first and run the code later in a local Python environment. Code is shown as text; this page does not execute it.
