What This Workflow Does
This automation solves the time-consuming process of manually compiling and distributing daily sales reports. Sales managers often waste hours each week pulling data from multiple sources, formatting spreadsheets, and sending updates to their teams.
The workflow automatically extracts sales data from Google Sheets, calculates key metrics like total revenue and top-performing products, then delivers a formatted summary directly to WhatsApp. It runs at 6 PM daily, ensuring your team gets consistent, accurate reports without manual effort.
How It Works
1. Scheduled Data Extraction
The workflow triggers daily at 6 PM to read your Google Sheets sales data. It filters for today's transactions using the date column.
2. Performance Calculations
The system calculates total revenue, counts completed orders, and identifies the day's top-selling product - giving you the most important metrics at a glance.
3. Report Formatting
Data gets transformed into a clean, readable message template with clear sections for each metric and visual indicators for performance trends.
4. WhatsApp Delivery
The formatted report sends via MoltFlow's WhatsApp integration, appearing directly in your sales team's messaging app where they're most likely to see it.
