About This Automation

Client progress reporting requires project managers to manually extract hours from timesheets, compile project status from multiple sources, and format reports with branding before sending. This manual assembly is time-consuming, error-prone, and often delays delivery to clients.

Automation pulls hours and project data directly from source systems, compiles a complete narrative, formats it into a branded document, and sends it to the client automatically. Reports arrive on time, consistently formatted, with an audit trail of what was sent and when.

Key features

Format reports with company branding and client-specific layout templates

Send reports to clients via email on a schedule or on demand

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Reporting Period Endstrigger

The automation is triggered on a set day and time (e.g. Friday at 5 PM) or when a project milestone is marked complete.

2. Fetch Active Projects

The automation queries for all active projects and their current status, milestones, and task updates.

3. Retrieve Hours

The automation pulls timesheets for the reporting period, grouped by project and team member.

4. Compile Report Data

The automation synthesizes project status, hours worked, and deliverables into a structured report outline, filling in missing context where needed.

5. Format and Generate Report

The automation creates a branded PDF or HTML report using a template, inserting hours, status, and deliverables in the correct layout.

6. Send Report via Email

The automation sends the formatted report to the client email address with a personalized cover message.

7. Log Report Sent

The automation posts a confirmation message with the report details and client name, creating an audit trail.
