How it works
What happens on each run, in plain English.
On the 3rd of every month, the transactions tab of your Google Sheet is read and each cost center with transactions in the month just ended gets its own profit and loss report by email. The figures are calculated from the sheet: revenue and expenses by category against the month before, the net result, the year to date and the largest transactions. AI then writes a short commentary on top - the month's result, what drove it and what is worth a closer look - quoting only those figures.
A row that cannot be read is listed in the report instead of being counted as zero, and transactions with no cost center get a report of their own. A month with no transactions at all, or a tab missing a column, stops the run with an error instead of sending a report that looks like a quiet month. If the commentary cannot be written, the figures still go out.
You need a tab with Date, Amount and Cost Center (or Department) columns. Type (Income or Expense), Category and Description columns are optional and used when present.
