About This Automation
Org chart and headcount management involves manually updating employee records, redrawing organizational structures, and notifying stakeholders whenever a role changes. Manual updates are slow, error-prone, and create version control chaos.
Automation captures role change requests, validates employee data, updates the master record, regenerates the org chart, and distributes it to all stakeholders in minutes. The result is a single source of truth that stays current without manual intervention.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A role change is submitted via email or form. The automation platform monitors for new role change requests and extracts employee details, new title, department, and manager.
The automation verifies the employee exists in the master spreadsheet and checks for data conflicts or missing information before proceeding.
The automation updates the employee record with the new role, department, manager, and effective date.
The automation recalculates department headcount totals and updates summary tables in the spreadsheet automatically.
The automation sends templated notifications to the employee, old manager, new manager, and relevant team members.
The automation generates an updated org chart from the spreadsheet data and publishes it and shared storage.
