What it does
The whole workflow, at a glance.
Start every day knowing what needs attention. Each weekday morning the workflow reads your operations tracker in Google Sheets, AI writes a short digest of overdue, due-today and blocked items by owner plus the biggest risk, and posts it to your team's Slack channel.

Apps and AI
What it connects to.
Apps
Swap any of them for another app: connect it in Settings → Integrations, or call its API with an HTTP step and a key from the credential vault.
AI on your own key
Works with any of the 14 providers you can connect. AI steps use your provider's default model until you pick another, and you pay your provider directly, at cost.

Setup checklist
Before you switch it on.
The canvas highlights anything still missing, and Dry Run works before any of this is done.
- Connect Google Workspace in Settings → Integrations, then pick it in “Read the ops tracker” under Auth → Connected account.
- Replace YOUR_SPREADSHEET_ID and the range (Tracker!A1:G200) with your sheet's.
- Connect an AI provider in Settings → AI Providers.
- Connect Slack and pick the connection and channel in “Post to the team”.
- Set the schedule's time zone, then activate the schedule.
FAQ
Questions about this template.
Does it change my sheet?
No. It only reads the range you set.
Is it free to try?
Yes. Create a free account with no credit card and the template opens in your canvas. Build and Dry Run it free; run it live on any paid plan from $39/mo.

Yes. Dry Run walks through every step with simulated AI and app calls, so you can see the path it takes before you activate the trigger.
