Title: Develop Automated Reporting Mechanisms for SayPro’s Marketing Activities

Lead Departments: SayPro Marketing Department & SayPro Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring Office
Strategic Framework: SayPro Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Royalty
Timeline: Q2 – Q3 2025
Category: Digital Optimization & Data Efficiency

1. Objective

To design and implement automated, real-time reporting systems that track SayPro’s marketing performance across platforms—enabling faster decision-making, improved cross-departmental communication, and alignment with programmatic impact indicators.

2. Strategic Rationale

SayPro currently relies on manual reporting processes that are time-intensive, error-prone, and inconsistently updated. By automating reporting, SayPro will:

Ensure timely, accurate, and standardized marketing data
Reduce staff workload and eliminate repetitive tasks
Provide leadership and program teams with real-time marketing insights
Strengthen data use for adaptive marketing and content planning
Improve alignment with MEL frameworks and organizational impact goals

3. Scope of Automation

A. Platforms to Cover:

Platform/Tool	Metrics to Automate
Meta Business Suite	Impressions, reach, engagement, click-through rates by campaign
Google Analytics 4	Website traffic sources, user behavior, landing page conversions
HubSpot CRM	Lead generation, email open/click rates, campaign lifecycle tracking
Mailchimp	Email campaign performance, A/B test results, subscriber growth
Twilio/WhatsApp	SMS/WhatsApp delivery, responses, opt-out rates
Power BI or Tableau	Consolidated marketing dashboard with filters by campaign, channel, region

4. System Design and Reporting Architecture

A. Dashboard-Based Automation

Live dashboards embedded in SayPro’s internal portal
Filters for date ranges, program types, campaign themes, and user demographics
Separate views for executives, marketing staff, and program leads

B. Scheduled Email Reports

Weekly and monthly digest emails automatically generated and sent to relevant teams
Includes key trends, top-performing content, lead pipelines, and engagement summaries

C. API and Data Connector Integrations

Use of platforms like Zapier, Supermetrics, Funnel.io, or native APIs to:
- Pull data from multiple platforms into a central database
- Refresh data hourly/daily for near real-time tracking

D. Alerts and Triggers

Slack/Email notifications set up for:
- Campaigns underperforming KPIs
- High-performing content for immediate boosting
- Data anomalies (e.g., bounce spikes or campaign breaks)
