Check what needs attention before tomorrow
Output
Two items need attention tonight. Waiting until tomorrow morning would miss both deadlines.
Checked Harbor & Pine at 5:02 PM Portland time on Thursday, September 17, 2026. Maya's usual working day ends at 5 PM.
- Approve Lena's buying quantities by 5:30 PM. Lena's latest email says the Mossbank Textiles order is blocked on Maya's decision and the supplier's cutoff is 6 PM. Review the quantities in Fall buying plan and reply with approval or corrections.
- Reply to Iris by 6 PM. Iris is waiting for a decision on Wren Hollis's damaged-item replacement. She promised Wren an answer by 6:30 PM today. Review the email thread and confirm the resolution before Iris's deadline.
No other approvals are blocking someone. No replies due first thing tomorrow need work tonight. Tomorrow's meetings have prepared notes, with no remaining preparation that needs attention before morning.
The report uses the deadlines stated in the email threads. No approvals were given, replies sent, or calendar changes made.
Automation steps. The agent follows these 3 steps each time it runs, using your connected email and calendar.
- 1
At the end of my working day, check for approvals blocking someone, replies due today or first thing tomorrow, and meetings tomorrow that I still need to prepare for.
- 2
Include only items that cannot wait until tomorrow morning.
- 3
If there are none, say so and stop.
Adjust the automation in Chat
Run this automation and tell the agent what to do differently. Ask it to schedule that version if you want the changes in future runs.
- Schedule the check for 4:30 PM Portland time.
- Flag approval deadlines within two hours.
- Include meeting prep only when someone needs materials tonight.
Fieldwork emails the scheduled report. Each email links to the full run as a conversation in Fieldwork. The automation asks the agent to keep a log in your knowledge base and read it before each run to check what has changed.
Adjustable schedule
Choose how often it runs at setup, from hourly to monthly. Ask in Fieldwork chat for a custom schedule and timezone.
Only useful reports
When nothing needs attention, the run skips the email. When there are findings, you get a report with a link to the full conversation.
No messages sent
An automated run has no tool that sends, posts, or replies. The agent can update notes and its log in your Fieldwork knowledge base.
This automation reads your email and calendar. Connect Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 to Fieldwork. The automation uses whichever you connect.
