About This Automation

Client reporting requires manual compilation of project status, timesheet data, and budget figures into tailored narratives for each client. This repetitive work consumes 2-3 days per reporting cycle and introduces inconsistencies and delays.

Automation synthesizes project data, hours logged, and spend into client-ready status summaries automatically. Reports are generated same-day with consistent formatting, accurate figures, and a full audit trail.

Key features
Extract project status and milestone data from task management systems automatically
Compile timesheet hours and resource allocation into summary tables without manual entry
Generate narrative summaries that explain progress, risks, and next steps in client-appropriate language
Format reports with client branding and standard sections for consistency
Deliver reports to client portals and internal systems in a single step

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Weekly Reporting Schedule Triggeredtrigger

The automation runs on a fixed weekly schedule (e.g. every Friday at 8 AM) or when manually invoked by a team member.

2. Fetch Project Data

The automation queries API to retrieve all active projects, task completion rates, milestones, and flagged risks for the reporting period.

3. Retrieve Timesheet and Budget Data

The automation reads the shared Google Sheet to pull hours logged, resource allocation, and budget spend data for each project.

4. Generate Status Narrative

The automation synthesizes project data, timesheet data, and budget figures into a concise, client-ready narrative summary that highlights progress, risks, and next steps.

5. Format and Assemble Report

The automation populates a report template with the generated narrative, client branding, and formatted data tables, then exports it as a PDF.

6. Send Report via Email

The automation sends the formatted report to the client contact list with a professional cover message.

7. Upload and Portal

The automation attaches the report to the client record and uploads it to the client portal for access and audit trail.

8. Post Summary

The automation sends a summary notification to the internal team channel confirming reports sent and flagging any critical risks.
