Automate Project Status Updates for Your Team

Eliminate manual status reporting by building a system that pulls task data, generates plain-English updates, and delivers them to your team on schedule.

Time Required

2–3 hrs setup

Expected Result

A twice-weekly automated project status update delivered to Slack or email, written in plain English from your project management data.

Recommended Tools

1

Connect Your Project Tool

Set up a Make or Zapier scenario that reads your ClickUp, Monday.com, or Notion project board on a schedule. Pull tasks by status: completed, in progress, blocked, and upcoming.

Calculate Progress Metrics

Add a calculation step that computes: % of tasks complete, tasks blocked, days to deadline, and any milestones reached since the last update.

Write the Update with AI

Send the task data and metrics to Claude with a prompt to write a 3-paragraph status update: what was accomplished, what's in progress, and what's at risk or blocked.
