The problem it solves

Keeping tabs on which payments still need verification is easy to lose track of when it's spread across a spreadsheet and half-remembered follow-ups. Without a clear process, some payment checks fall through the cracks and your team finds out too late. You also need a way to keep stakeholders in the loop without manually emailing everyone.

Who it fits

Finance or operations teams tracking outstanding lead or client payments.

How it works

  1. Lead and payment records are pulled from your spreadsheet
  2. Each record is checked to see if its status is still Open
  3. Open items get a ClickUp task and a confirmation email
  4. Everything else triggers a Slack alert to the team
What you get

Payments tracked without slipping through

You get a ClickUp task and confirmation email for every open payment record, plus a Slack alert for everything else, so nothing falls through the cracks.

What you get

A tracked ClickUp task and confirmation email for every open payment, plus a Slack alert for the rest.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, ClickUp account, Gmail account, and Slack workspace.

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.
