Introduction

Tired of setting up project report emails manually every week, across all the projects you’re working on?

In this article, I go over how you can automate your project reports using Google Slides (for hosting your reports) and Gmail (for sending them).

This is just one use case. With this workflow, you can automate anything you need to send via Gmail and hosted in Google Slides, whether that’s a report or not. Even beyond this, you can automate anything you need to if you work with the Google Suite of products.

This is a workflow I stumbled upon while looking for efficient ways to save myself time when having to prep these reports regularly (as at any time I can be working on 3–6 different initiatives that need regular reporting to executive stakeholders), and I feel it could help to share it with you out there having similar issues, especially those of you out there that are also hands-on in the Project Management world.

I’m starting to write more and more about all things automation, and you don’t necessarily need to deploy expensive AI agents to start saving yourself time.
