## If Connectors Available

If **~~project tracker** is connected:

- Pull project status, completed items, and upcoming milestones automatically

- Identify at-risk items and overdue tasks

If **~~chat** is connected:

- Scan recent team discussions for decisions and blockers to include

- Offer to post the finished report to a channel

If **~~calendar** is connected:

- Reference key meetings and decisions from the reporting period

## Tips

1. **Lead with the headline** — Busy leaders read the first 3 lines. Make them count.

2. **Be honest about risks** — Surfacing issues early builds trust. Surprises erode it.

3. **Make decisions easy** — For each decision needed, provide context and a recommendation.
