About This Automation

Compliance deadline tracking requires manual spreadsheet scanning, status collection, and multi-channel alerts every morning. Inconsistent data formats, delayed updates, and duplicate messaging create bottlenecks and missed deadlines.

Automation monitors deadlines and job progress continuously, consolidates status updates from email and messaging, and delivers unified alerts to the team. Deadlines are never missed and team members stay informed without manual data entry.

Key features
Monitor approaching compliance deadlines automatically each morning
Capture job status updates from email and messaging without manual entry
Consolidate deadline and status information into a single source of truth
Send unified alerts to team members across email and messaging channels
Maintain an always-current compliance calendar for the entire team

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Monitor Deadline Spreadsheettrigger

The automation platform monitors the master deadline spreadsheet for new rows or changes to existing dates. It checks every morning at 7 AM and whenever a deadline is updated.

2. Identify Approaching Deadlines

The automation analyzes the spreadsheet data and identifies all deadlines falling within the next 14 days. It cross-references the job status spreadsheet to pull current progress information.

3. Fetch Current Job Status

The automation retrieves the latest job status from the job tracking spreadsheet, including completion percentage, assigned owner, and last update date.

4. Is deadline within 7 days?

The automation branches based on urgency. Deadlines within 7 days trigger immediate alerts. Deadlines between 7 and 14 days trigger a daily summary.

5. Send Urgent Alert

For deadlines within 7 days, the automation sends an immediate message to the responsible team member with the deadline date, job status, and any blockers.

6. Create Calendar Event

The automation creates or updates a event for the deadline, sets a reminder for 3 days before, and adds the responsible team member as an attendee.

7. Log Status Update

When a team member updates job status or email, the automation logs the update with a timestamp, owner, and status change. This keeps the single source of truth current.

8. Send Daily Summary Email

Every morning at 7 AM, the automation sends a summary email to the operations manager listing all deadlines due in the next 14 days, sorted by urgency, with current job status and owner.
