About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the creation of professional timesheet reports, transforming raw data into an easily digestible HTML document. It begins by manually triggering the process and then retrieves sample timesheet records. Crucially, it fetches user avatars to personalize the report, removing duplicate avatar entries to optimize performance. The data is then sorted by user name, task title, and date for logical presentation. A powerful function node constructs the report, meticulously organizing entries by user and task, calculating subtotals, and embedding stylish HTML table formatting. The output is then converted into an HTML file, ready for distribution or archiving. This workflow is ideal for businesses looking to enhance transparency and simplify the reporting process.
