About This Automation

Shift handovers are the critical moment when one team passes work and context to the next. Manual handovers waste time through scattered notes, incomplete information, and repetitive clarification questions.

Automated handovers capture all task data in one structured form, compile a prioritized report, and deliver it instantly to the incoming team with full audit trails. The incoming supervisor starts work immediately with complete context.

Key features
Collect shift data through a structured form that captures tasks, blockers, and priority flags
Retrieve linked tasks and issues automatically from your operations system
Generate a prioritized handover report with consistent formatting every time
Send formatted handover summaries to the incoming team via chat with task lists
Log every handover event with timestamps for compliance and audit purposes
Request and record acknowledgment from incoming staff to confirm receipt

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Shift End Detectedtrigger

Automation is triggered when the shift end time is reached or the outgoing staff member clocks out in the scheduling system.

2. Collect Shift Data via Form

A Google Form is automatically sent to the outgoing staff member with fields for open tasks, blockers, customer issues, and priority notes. The form is pre-populated with the staff member's name and shift date.

3. Compile Handover Report

The automation processes the form responses and any linked task data, creating a structured handover report with tasks grouped by priority and status.

4. Update Handover Log

The compiled report is automatically added to a Google Sheet handover log with timestamp, staff names, and task summary for audit and reference.

5. Send Handover

A formatted handover message is sent to the incoming staff member and team channel, including all tasks, blockers, and priority flags.

6. Log Handover Event

The handover event, including timestamp, participants, and task count, is automatically logged for compliance and reporting.

7. Request Acknowledgment

A reaction or quick confirmation prompt is sent to the incoming staff member to confirm receipt and understanding. The confirmation is recorded in the log.
