What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the common challenge of manually compiling KPIs from multiple sources. Businesses often track project progress in ClickUp and sales/lead data in Google Sheets, but consolidating these metrics for team visibility requires repetitive copy-pasting between platforms.
The workflow automatically extracts completed task counts from ClickUp tasks, pulls numerical data from Google Sheets, combines these metrics into a formatted report, and distributes it via Slack channels and Gmail. This eliminates hours of manual reporting work while ensuring stakeholders always have current performance data.
How It Works
Step 1: Pull data from ClickUp
The workflow queries your ClickUp workspace for completed tasks within specified lists you specify. It counts completions by category (like marketing, sales, support) and calculates completion rates against targets.
Step 2: Extract Google Sheets metrics
Simultaneously, the automation reads specified ranges from your Google Sheets containing lead conversion rates, lead counts, revenue figures, or other KPIs. This data gets normalized for consistent reporting.
Step 3: Generate consolidated report
The system combines both data sources into a single dashboard view with visual indicators (✅/❌) showing which metrics are on/off track). It applies your branding and formats the data for optimal readability.
Step 4: Distribute to stakeholders
The final report gets posted to designated Slack channels (like #executive-team or #sales-updates) and emailed to specified Gmail addresses. You can set this to run daily, weekly, or on-demand.
