What it does

This workflow rolls your granular meeting-cost data up into a leadership-ready monthly view. It groups recorded meeting costs by department, compares the total against the prior month, and delivers a clean digest highlighting where meeting spend grew or shrank.

When to use it

Use it when leadership wants a recurring, decision-grade summary rather than a raw table. It is built for chiefs of staff and ops teams who already capture per-meeting cost in Coda and need a monthly narrative on top of it.

How it works

  1. 1A monthly schedule fires on the first of the month.
  2. 2The flow reads the full meeting-cost table from Coda.
  3. 3It aggregates dollar cost by department and computes the change versus the previous month's stored totals.
  4. 4It builds a digest: total monthly meeting spend, biggest movers up and down, and the single most expensive meeting.
  5. 5It writes a monthly summary row back into a Coda rollup table for historical tracking.
  6. 6It posts the formatted digest to the leadership Slack channel so the numbers land where decisions get made.
