Questions, answered
Will it send the Friday request emails automatically?
No - they are saved as drafts for you to review and send. This way you can adjust the message or skip a week without any extra steps.
What if someone replies late on Monday after the digest goes out?
Their reply is picked up on the next run and added to the sheet. You can re-run manually any time to refresh the digest.
Can it handle a team of 20+ people?
Yes - it drafts one email per person and processes all replies in a single run, so team size doesn't change the workflow.
