About This Automation

Client reporting requires gathering data from multiple systems, manually compiling it into formatted reports, and sending them to clients. Manual compilation is time-consuming, error-prone, and often causes delays in delivery.

Automation pulls project and financial data directly from source systems, generates branded reports automatically, and delivers them to clients on schedule. Reports are accurate, consistent, and sent without manual intervention.

Key features
Automatically gather project status and financial data from multiple systems in a single workflow
Generate branded, formatted reports without manual copy-paste or spreadsheet work
Send completed reports to clients via email and log delivery in your CRM
Notify your team when reports are sent and flag any data issues for review
Ensure consistent formatting and on-time delivery for every client report

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Reporting Cycle Triggeredtrigger

The automation runs on a fixed schedule (e.g. every Monday at 8 AM or the last Friday of the month at 5 PM). The trigger checks which clients are due for an update based on their reporting frequency.

2. Fetch Project Data from Source

The automation queries the project management tool API to pull current project status, milestones, and task progress for each active client. Data is structured into a standardised format.

3. Retrieve Financial Data from QuickBooks

The automation calls the API to fetch invoice status, hours billed, budget remaining, and any outstanding balances for each client.

4. Compile and Format Report

The automation combines the project and financial data, applies the branded report template, and generates a formatted report document (PDF or HTML) ready for delivery.

5. Review Report Quality

A human support lead reviews the generated report for accuracy, completeness, and tone. They can approve it, request changes, or flag any data anomalies before it is sent.

6. Send Report

Once approved, the automation sends the report to the client contact email address, with a personalised greeting and subject line pulled.

7. Log Report Delivery

The automation records the send date, recipient, and report version and posts a confirmation message with a summary of all reports sent in this cycle.
