Automate weekly attendance reports to Slack and email

Every Monday, the system pulls attendance data and sends a summary to Slack and your HR manager's inbox.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs.

The problem it solves

Compiling attendance numbers from a spreadsheet every week is tedious, and it is easy to forget to send the summary out on time. Managers end up chasing HR for numbers that should already be in their inbox.

Who it fits

HR teams and managers who track employee attendance in a spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically every Monday morning
  2. Pulls all attendance records from Google Sheets
  3. Counts how many times each employee was present, on leave, or on vacation
  4. Formats the counts into a readable summary
  5. Posts the summary to Slack and emails it to the HR manager
What you get

Attendance patterns you catch every Monday

You get a weekly attendance summary posted to Slack and emailed to your HR manager every Monday morning automatically.

What you get

A weekly attendance summary posted in Slack and sent by email.

What you need

A Google Sheets attendance log, a Slack workspace, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
