Impara Automating Reporting Reminders | Automation for Digital Agencies

In a digital agency, reporting cycles are a core part of client communication and project management. Reports might be due weekly, monthly, or at custom intervals, depending on client needs and campaign types. Missing a reporting deadline can lead to client dissatisfaction, reduced trust, and even lost business. Manual tracking of these cycles is error-prone, especially as the number of clients and reports grows. Automating reminders for these deadlines ensures you stay on top of deliverables and maintain a professional standard of service.

import datetime

reports = [
    {"name": "SEO Monthly Report", "due_date": "2024-06-27"},
    {"name": "Social Media Weekly", "due_date": "2024-06-25"},
    {"name": "PPC Campaign Review", "due_date": "2024-06-30"},
    {"name": "Email Performance", "due_date": "2024-07-02"},
]

# Fixed reference date instead of today's date
reference_date = datetime.date(2024, 6, 24)
reminder_window = 3  # days

for report in reports:
    due_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(report["due_date"], "%Y-%m-%d").date()
    days_until_due = (due_date - reference_date).days
    if 0 <= days_until_due <= reminder_window:
        print(
            f"Reminder: '{report['name']}' is due in {days_until_due} day(s) on {due_date}."
        )

The logic behind the date comparison in the script is straightforward: for each report, you calculate the number of days between the current date and the report's due date. If this number is within the specified reminder window (in this case, 3 days), a reminder is printed. This window can be adjusted by changing the value of the reminder_window variable. By increasing or decreasing this number, you control how far in advance you want to be notified about upcoming deadlines.

# Fixed reference date instead of today's date
reference_date = datetime.date(2024, 6, 24)
reminder_window = 3  # days

for report in reports:
    due_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(report["due_date"], "%Y-%m-%d").date()
    days_until_due = (due_date - reference_date).days

    if 0 <= days_until_due <= reminder_window:
        if "SEO" in report["name"]:
            message = f"SEO Alert: '{report['name']}' due in {days_until_due} day(s)!"
        elif "Social Media" in report["name"]:
            message = f"Social Media Reminder: '{report['name']}' is coming up soon."
        else:
            message = f"General Reminder: '{report['name']}' is due in {days_until_due} day(s)."

        print(message)
