Monitor project timelines and flag delays automatically

Purpose

1.1. Continuously track project tasks, milestones, and completion dates in engineering projects within agriculture, automatically notifying stakeholders of timeline risk, delays, or overdue items.
1.2. Aggregate status updates from field teams, contractors, or machinery sensors, flag tasks exceeding deadlines, update central dashboards, and trigger escalation workflows to project managers, ensuring deadlines are met and minimizing project overruns.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Scheduled polling of project management boards for due/overdue tasks.
2.2. Receipt of updated field reports through email, form, sensor input, or manual entry in engineering platforms.
2.3. Detection of mismatched planned vs. actual dates in construction or agricultural engineering tasks.
2.4. Status change to “Delayed,” “Overdue,” or non-completion past expected end date.
2.5. Automatic flag if equipment logs indicate project step incompletion.

• Sample: Webhook on any card moved to “Delayed” or if `due` < today’s date.
3.5. Smartsheet
• Feature/Setting: Sheets API `GET /sheets/{sheetId}/rows` where due date is overdue and status not complete.
• Sample: Conditional webhook triggers alert.
3.6. Monday.com
• Feature/Setting: Board query for overdue pulses (items) using API.
• Sample: Query board for items with due date < now, status != done.
3.7. ClickUp
• Feature/Setting: Task API filter `due_date` past and incomplete.
• Sample: Use `/task?filter=overdue:true`.
3.8. Wrike
• Feature/Setting: Folder/task endpoint with custom query for overdue milestones.
• Sample: Schedule bot to poll tasks where `due_date < today` and `status != Complete`.
3.9. Basecamp
• Feature/Setting: To-Do Set API read overdue tasks.
• Sample: Integration runs daily `/buckets/{project_id}/todos?status=overdue`.
3.10. Notion
• Feature/Setting: Database query for overdue engineering tasks via API.
• Sample: Filter objects with `Due Date < now` and `Status != Done`.
3.11. Airtable
• Feature/Setting: Table filter by formula: `IS_BEFORE({Due}, TODAY())` and incomplete flag.
• Sample: Webhook/Automation fires on findings.
3.12. Salesforce
• Feature/Setting: SOQL query to fetch overdue project milestones.
• Sample: Trigger Apex job to pull Tasks where DueDate < NOW and Status != Completed.
3.13. Google Sheets
• Feature/Setting: Script checks rows for overdue values.
• Sample: On time-based trigger, Apps Script scans for status/dates.
3.14. Zoho Projects
• Feature/Setting: API GET request for tasks with field `status != closed and due_date < today`.
• Sample: Webhook or zap on match.
