Every morning: what is due today → one message
At seven in the morning one Telegram message arrives with every task due today, by client. One screen to open the day, instead of five.

The problem
Today's tasks are scattered across a calendar, a sheet, emails and memory. The morning starts with collecting, not working. What was not collected comes back to mind in the evening.
What happens when it runs
- Schedule: every day 07:00
- Read the task log: due = today, status open
- Aggregate into one list, sorted by client
- One Telegram message — or "nothing due today" if the list is empty
The tools inside
- Make — the automation engine · Sign up (one month of Core free) →affiliate link
- Google Sheets — log and lists
- Telegram — alerts
Before you start
Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:
- The task log spreadsheet id
- Columns: task, client, due, status
- Chat ID
- The send hour
Sheet templates
The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.

How to import (2 minutes)
- In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
- At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
- Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
- Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
- Run once with a test row in the sheet. Only when it passes — Schedule and ON

What does not work in it
- An overdue task that was never closed will not show — the filter is "today", not "up to today". Change it to "less than or equal to today" to see what slipped.
- A list of 40 tasks in one message does not get read. Above 15, shorten to titles only or split by client.

More automations
All automations →
EMAIL → TASKLabelled email → task in the log → reminder
Tag an email with one label and it becomes a task with a due date and an alert. One screen for everything that is waiting.
OVERDUE ALERTA task overdue by 3 days → an alert to the consultant, not the client
Overdue tasks do not disappear, they sink. Once a day, every open task 3 days late surfaces in one message — and whoever owns it sees it before the client asks.
LEAD ALERTLead comes in → logged → alert. No hands.
A form on the client site sends a lead; it is logged and an alert reaches Telegram in seconds. The first automation every consultant sets up.
