Status reports that write themselves
A weekly email, Deck or Write doc about a board, for people who never open it.
Pick a day and time and Tasks writes the status report for you.
- In the board menu, choose Requests and email, then the Reports tab, and choose New report.
- Choose when (weekly, every other week, monthly, the first working day of the month, or daily) and what it covers: done, new, due in the next 7 days, overdue, blocked, time spent, a chart and your note.
- Choose who gets it: people on the board by role, and (admins) other addresses.
- Tick a Deck or a Write doc to get a file in your Drive too, shared read-only with the board.
Make it now sends one straight away. Turn on Wait for my note to get a reminder before it goes out, with a time it goes anyway. People outside the board get no links that need signing in, and every email has a way to stop getting it (mail apps show it as an unsubscribe button). If mail to an address bounces three times, Tasks stops emailing it for 30 days and tells the report's owner.
