How to Use PostSheet to Power Internal Updates Across Departments

When teams grow, communication slows.
Suddenly, what used to be a quick Slack turns into a missed update, misaligned launch, or “wait, who owns that?”

Internal updates — when done right — keep everyone in sync, moving fast, and focused on what matters. But sending updates across multiple teams manually? That’s a productivity killer.

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can automate and personalize internal updates to every stakeholder, team lead, or department head — without spamming anyone or sounding like a bot.

Here’s how to make internal comms effortless, accurate, and personal.

🧩 Why Internal Updates Are a Must-Have

You might be sharing:

✅ Launch status
✅ Cross-functional project updates
✅ Product release timelines
✅ Hiring progress
✅ Operational KPIs
✅ Executive summaries

If your updates aren’t personal or well-structured, they’ll be skipped.
PostSheet helps you send them clearly, consistently, and with context.

📋 Step 1: Set Up a Multi-Team Update Tracker in Google Sheets

Your sheet might look like:

NameEmailDepartmentProject / TopicUpdate DateSummary HighlightsBlockers / NotesNext Milestone
Jamie Wongjamie@email.comMarketingQ2 Campaigns2025-05-03All creatives finalizedAwaiting product approvalsLaunching May 10
Alex Riveraalex@email.comEngineeringMobile App Redesign2025-05-03Sprint 3 completedSome UI bugs to fixQA handoff May 5

Optional columns: Priority, Owner, Stage, Dependencies, Team Lead, Status Color

You can filter by department or keep everything in one unified view.

✉️ Step 2: Create a Smart Update Template in PostSheet

Here’s a quick, structured update that scales:

css

Copy

Subject: {{Project / Topic}} Update – {{Update Date}}

Hi {{Name}},

Here’s your latest update on **{{Project / Topic}}** from the {{Department}} team:

**Highlights:**  

{{Summary Highlights}}

**Blockers / Notes:**  

{{Blockers / Notes}}

**Next Milestone:**  

{{Next Milestone}}

Let me know if you need anything else — or if you’d like to review this together.

– [Your Ops or PM Team]

This works for department-wide updates, exec summaries, or partner check-ins.

🚀 Step 3: Send (and Schedule) with PostSheet

Here’s the easy part:

  1. Filter your sheet by update date or recipient
  2. Connect to PostSheet
  3. Map fields like {{Department}}, {{Project / Topic}}, and {{Blockers / Notes}}
  4. Preview every message
  5. Send immediately or schedule weekly (e.g., every Monday)

You can tag rows as “Sent” to avoid duplicates.

🔁 Bonus: Automate Weekly or Monthly Updates

Set a recurring system to:

  • Collect weekly updates via form or Slack → log in Sheet
  • Review summaries → send via PostSheet
  • Include links to dashboards, decks, or shared docs
  • Add a column for reply owner (if someone wants to follow up)

This turns your updates into a habit — not a scramble.

🧠 When to Use This System

  • 🚀 Cross-functional product updates
  • 🧑‍💻 Engineering sprint summaries
  • 📈 RevOps dashboards or quota updates
  • 🗓️ Project launch timelines
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Leadership team briefings
  • 🧾 Quarterly performance reviews

Basically: anytime you’d say “Hey, just keeping you in the loop.”
