Key features

Generate professional status summaries from project notes and work logs
Compose and send formatted client updates with embedded photos
Log all communications in your CRM for complete project history
Ensure consistent tone and detail across all client updates

How The Automation Works

A work phase is flagged as complete or a linked spreadsheet, triggering the update workflow.

2. Fetch photos

The automation retrieves all photos uploaded to the project folder since the last update.

3. The automation generates status summary

The automation reads project notes and recent activity, then generates a professional status summary including work completed, timeline, and next steps.

4. Retrieve client contact

The automation pulls the client email address and project details.

5. Compose and send email

A formatted email is created with the AI-generated summary and attached photos, then sent to the client.

6. Log update

The update is automatically recorded in the client's communication history with a timestamp and summary.

7. Post notification

The team is notified that the client update has been sent, with a link.
