Attendance Tracker

How to automatically post Google Meet attendance to Slack

Keep your team informed without sending manual messages. Here is how to automatically deliver formatted post-meeting attendance summaries and participant rosters to any Slack channel as soon as your Google Meet call ends.

Why Post Attendance to Slack?

• Standup Accountability: Automatically post the roster for your daily standups to #engineering-standup or #product-sync.
• Client Call Logs: Keep account executives updated in client channels when quarterly business reviews (QBRs) or demos finish.
• Asynchronous Catch-Up: Teammates who couldn't attend can see at a glance who was on the call and access the attendance sheet without asking.

Step-by-Step Setup (Takes 2 Minutes)

Step 1: Create a Slack Incoming Webhook

1. Go to api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks and click Create your Slack app (or choose an existing app).
2. Under Features, select Incoming Webhooks and toggle it to On.
3. Click Add New Webhook to Workspace, pick your destination channel (e.g. #team-standup), and click Allow.
4. Copy the generated Webhook URL (it looks like https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00/B00/XXXX).

Step 2: Paste Webhook in Attendance Tracker

1. Join any Google Meet call and open Attendance Tracker from the Activities panel.
2. Click the Settings (gear icon) in the top right of the side panel.
3. Paste your Slack Webhook URL into the Slack Webhook URL field.
4. Click Send Test Ping to verify that a test notification lands in your Slack channel.
5. Click Save Settings.

Step 3: Automated Post-Meeting Digests

That's it! Every time a meeting ends and attendance is saved, Attendance Tracker automatically constructs a clean Slack Block Kit card containing:

• Meeting Title & Date/Time
• List of Present Participants + exact minutes attended
• Flagged Late Arrivals & Absent Invitees
• Direct button link to open the full attendance sheet in Google Drive

Slack Security & Webhook Masking

Your Slack webhook is encrypted and stored safely within your tenant account. In the settings interface, webhooks are automatically masked (e.g. https://hooks.slack.com/...aBcD) so secrets are never displayed in plain text during screen shares or presentations.
