  • OutputEmail each owner their digest via OutlookOutlook

What it does

Many teams track accruals in a shared Coda doc but rely on nagging in meetings to get them booked. This workflow turns that tracker into accountability: it reads every accrual row marked still open, groups them by the named owner, and sends each person an individual Outlook email listing only their items, the amount, the GL account, and how many are overdue.

When to use it

Use it daily or every morning during the close window when an accrual worklist already lives in Coda and owners keep losing track of what's theirs. It's the polite, automated replacement for the controller chasing people one by one.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule triggers during the close period.
  2. 2The workflow reads the accrual tracker table from Coda, filtering to rows with status open.
  3. 3A logic step buckets items by owner and flags any past the due date.
  4. 4For each owner it renders a personalized summary with totals and overdue counts.
  5. 5An Outlook email goes to each owner; owners with nothing open are skipped.
