[Priority 1] 2. [Priority 2] 3. [Priority 3] ``` ## 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.
