The problem it solves

You're checking a shared spreadsheet all day just to see if a new lead, signup, or order has come in. By the time you notice a new entry, someone else may have already missed the window to follow up.

Who it fits

Teams that track leads, signups, or orders in a shared spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. A new row is added to your Google Sheet
  2. The automation detects the new entry
  3. Key details from the row are formatted into a message
  4. Slack posts the message in your chosen channel
What you get

New spreadsheet rows your team hears about instantly

Your team gets an instant Slack ping the moment a new lead or order lands in your spreadsheet.

What you get

A Slack message announcing each new spreadsheet entry.

What you need

A Google account and a 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.
