So, when looking at Airflow some time ago it looked like it was good at 'fixed workflows', something like, fetch last day's data from a website, process then load it at the DB

But it seemed it was bad at more flexible ones, like, load data, then process each entry in a certain way, then trigger a new workflow based on each entry (like send an email to every entry on the data fetched based on some condition)

Does Temporal does this?

Yes, Temporal workflows are as dynamic as needed.

The other useful pattern is always running workflows that can be used to model lifecycle of various entities. For example you can have an always running workflow per customer which would manage its service subscription and other customer related features.
