Build a live inventory of your automations in Google Sheets

Automatically catalogs every automation you run into a spreadsheet, so you always know what's active.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each automation.

Pattern: Multiple Instances without Synchronization (12)

The problem it solves

As you add more automations over time, it gets hard to remember what each one does or whether it's still running. Auditing them one by one to answer a simple question wastes time you don't have.

Who it fits

Best for operations teams or business owners managing a growing set of automations.

How it works

  1. Runs on a schedule or whenever you start it manually
  2. Pulls a full list of your automations and their details
  3. Goes through each one and pulls out its name, status, and components
  4. Writes or updates a row for each automation in the spreadsheet
What you get

An always-current list of what you're running

You get a spreadsheet that always shows every automation you're running and its current status.

What you get

An always-current spreadsheet listing every automation, its status, and what it's built from.

What you need

A Google Workspace account for Google Sheets.

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.
