Know your week in one Sunday email

Jobs, dollars and hot leads in a six-line wrap, every Sunday at 6pm.

By Daniel Hall · Automation builder at Made 4 Tradies

Owners say they have no idea what is actually happening in the business between bookkeeper visits, and the job-management tools they try often miss the analytics they want. The owner end-of-week dashboard closes that gap with a plain summary email that lands every Sunday evening. It pulls six lines straight from your own jobs, invoices and reviews: jobs done, dollars invoiced, dollars collected, dollars still outstanding, hot leads still waiting on a reply, and any reviews that came in this week. No new dashboard to log into, no manual tally, no spreadsheet. You read it with a beer and walk into Monday knowing exactly where the money and the leads sit.

“On time, tidy, explained everything.” — J. Patterson

Sent every Sunday at 6pm. You read it with a beer, not a spreadsheet.

Without it

Flying blind till the bookkeeper visits

You know roughly how busy you were, but not what you actually invoiced, what landed in the bank, or which hot quotes went cold over the weekend.

With the weekly wrap

One email

Illustrative example — the figures above are sample numbers for one fictional week. The point is the six lines that matter, pulled from your own jobs, invoices and reviews, with no manual tally.

Why owners ask for it

One sparkie summed up the gap with the tools he tried: “mostly good but didn't have the analytics I wanted.” A plain Sunday-night summary fills it without a new dashboard to log into.

How it works

Trigger → actions → outcome

  1. 1

    Trigger

    Every Sunday at 6pm the automation runs against the week just finished, Monday through Sunday.

  2. 2

    Action 1

    It tallies jobs completed, dollars invoiced, dollars collected and dollars still outstanding from your job and invoice records.

  3. 3

    Action 2

    It checks for quotes and enquiries still waiting on a reply and flags them as hot leads before they go cold over the weekend.

  4. 4

    Action 3

    It pulls any new Google reviews from the week and adds your current average rating.

  5. 5

    Outcome

    All six lines arrive in one short email to the owner, so you start Monday knowing the numbers without chasing the bookkeeper.
