About This Automation

Client reporting at PR agencies requires account managers to manually chase team updates, compile data from multiple sources, and format reports for each client. This process is time-consuming and prone to delays and inconsistencies.

Automation pulls live project data from task management and team communication tools, generates formatted reports with metrics and milestones, and delivers them to clients on schedule. Reports become consistent, accurate, and delivered on time every week.

Key features
Automatically collect project updates from team communication and task management tools
Generate formatted client reports with metrics, milestones, and next steps
Deliver reports to client contacts via email with audit logging
Maintain consistent branding and layout across all client reports
Eliminate manual chasing and follow-up messages to team members

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Weekly Schedule Triggertrigger

The automation runs on the configured reporting day each week, e.g. every Friday at 8 AM.

2. Fetch Project Data

The automation queries for all active projects, task status, completion percentage, and recent comments from the past week.

3. Request Updates

A message is sent to the team channel asking for any additional context or highlights not captured.

4. Compile Report with the automation

The automation reads the data and any responses, then generates a formatted report summary with metrics, milestones, and next steps.

5. Review and Approve

The report is sent to the account manager for a final 5-minute review and approval before sending to the client.

6. Send Report

The approved report is formatted as a PDF and sent to the client contact list with a templated cover message.

7. Log

The report send date, client, and a link to the document are automatically recorded for audit and history.
