About This Automation
Project status tracking requires coordinators to manually pull data from multiple tools, consolidate updates, and draft customized reports for each stakeholder. This fragmented process creates delays, errors, and repeated work across the team.
Automation consolidates real-time project data, generates stakeholder-ready status reports instantly, and logs milestone completions automatically. Teams get accurate, timely visibility without manual data entry.
Key features:
Pull real-time task completion data from your project management tool
Generate narrative status reports tailored to each stakeholder's needs
Flag at-risk milestones and overdue deliverables automatically
Log milestone completions and project history in your CRM
Notify teams of milestone achievements and phase transitions

The automation analyzes the project data and generates a narrative status report summarizing completed deliverables, progress percentage, upcoming milestones, and any flagged risks.
5. Update Google Sheet with Progress
The automation writes the milestone completion, status, and timestamp to a shared Google Sheet for team visibility and historical tracking.
6. Log Milestone
The automation creates or updates a milestone record, linking it to the project and client for billing and reporting purposes.

Everything you need to know before mapping this process.
Automation pulls data from completed tasks in your project management tool. If a task is marked complete, it is included in the status report; incomplete tasks are flagged as in progress or at risk based on the timeline.
