Questions, answered

What types of compliance deadlines does it track?

It tracks whatever compliance deadlines are configured in FranConnect for your network, including license renewals, insurance certificates, FDD-related filings, and any custom compliance fields your team has set up.

Will it notify franchisees about their deadlines?

No. The Slack alerts go to your internal compliance team only. Any outbound reminder to a franchisee is handled separately by your team after reviewing the tracker.

What if a deadline was already met before Monday?

The run reads live status from FranConnect each Monday, so any deadline completed since the last run will be marked resolved in Google Sheets and excluded from the Slack alert.

Put this on autopilot.
