Track training completion in real time as submissions arrive from the form
Identify overdue trainees automatically and send escalating reminders without manual review
Generate weekly compliance reports for audit and regulatory purposes

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Hire or Renewal Date Detectedtrigger

The automation checks the HR roster or calendar daily for new employees or training renewal dates. When a match is found, the workflow starts.

2. Assign Training in Tracking Sheet

The automation adds the employee to the training tracking sheet with their name, email, and deadline, then marks them as assigned.

3. Send Training Assignment

An automated email is sent to the trainee with the training link, deadline, and instructions. The message is personalised with their name.

4. Monitor Form Submissions

The automation monitors the Google Form for new responses and automatically updates the tracking sheet when a completion is submitted.

5. Identify Overdue Trainees

The automation checks the tracking sheet daily and identifies anyone past their deadline without a completion record.

6. Send Overdue Reminder

An automated message is sent to overdue trainees with a direct link to the training and the new deadline. A summary is also posted to the HR channel.

7. Generate Compliance Report

The automation generates a weekly compliance summary showing completion rates, overdue counts, and names of non-compliant staff, posted for HR review.
