Daily Slack-to-Google Docs Standup Summary

Daily Slack-to-Google Docs Standup Summary

Introduction

Automate your standup notes by pulling recent Slack updates into a dated Google Doc—so your team never scrambles for summaries again. ✅

Trigger Event

A scheduled run (you set the time) kicks off the workflow each day.

Actions

  • The workflow looks back over a recent time window in your chosen Slack channel (e.g., last 60 minutes) and collects messages.
  • It formats a simple, dated summary for today, organizing the pulled update into a clean section.
  • The formatted summary is then added to your selected Google Doc (to the tab you choose). You can append to the doc or replace existing content based on your preference.

Benefits

  • Save time on daily standup documentation
  • Keep notes consistent and dated for easy reference
  • Centralize updates in Google Docs for sharing and search
  • Reduce manual copy-paste errors and missed updates
