What if I track more than one metric?

Add as many columns as you want to the Daily Metrics tab — every column except Date gets included in the digest automatically.

Can it run more than once a day?

Yes, just add a second interval to the Schedule Trigger node.

Daily Metrics Digest

Track a few key numbers in a Google Sheet (leads, sales, revenue, tickets — whatever matters to you) and this automation reads the latest row every morning, formats it into a clean digest, and posts it to Slack and/or emails your team. No dashboard to check.

How it works

Every morning, the workflow reads your Daily Metrics sheet, grabs the most recent row, and formats every column (except Date) into a clean bullet-point summary — then posts it wherever you want to see it. No dashboard to check, no manual copy-paste.
