Connects

Google Calendar

The problem it solves

You track everyone's days off on a shared calendar, but pulling that into a report for payroll each month means scrolling back through weeks of entries by hand. It's easy to miss one and forget to send the report on time.

Who it fits

Office managers or HR staff who track employee time off on a shared Google Calendar and report it to payroll each month.

How it works

On a set day each month, the automation scans Google Calendar for time-off events
It gathers every day-off entry from the past month
The entries are compiled into one summary
An email with the summary is sent automatically to payroll

We can build this. But should you?
