Fictional example.
What Grantkeeper prepares
Grant handoff: Group confirmed dates and missing inputs.
Donor gaps: Match stable IDs with the supplied send log.
Shift cover: Compare availability with accepted assignments.
What the owner provides
Send only the export or document needed for this job. You do not need to send an account password or API key for file-based work. Export it yourself from an account allowed to see the records, and include the export date and reporting period.
Limits to keep in mind
Choose the sheet and format that preserve the required columns and dates. A downloaded file is a snapshot; this workflow does not edit the live sheet, preserve every formula or refresh itself after a cell changes.
Start with a limited sample. A vendor feature does not establish that a live connection is enabled for your account. Confirm access, cost and permitted actions during setup.
