Post Weekly Project Update to Teams Channel

Compile the week's project developments from email and Teams, then post a structured update to the team channel — without writing it from scratch.

The prompt
Every Friday at 4:00 PM, prepare and post the weekly project update for [project name] to the [Teams channel name] channel.

Step 1: Search my emails and Teams messages from the last 7 days related to [project name]. Identify: what progressed, what is blocked, what was decided, what is due next week.

Step 2: Draft a Teams post in this format:
**Week ending [date] — [Project Name] Update**
✅ Done this week: [bullet points]
🔄 In progress: [bullet points]
🚫 Blocked: [bullet points — include who needs to act]
📅 Next week: [bullet points]

Step 3: Show me the draft and confirm the channel name. Wait for my approval.

Step 4: Post to the channel after I approve.

Copy this exactly as it appears, including the # and * characters. They are not a mistake: Copilot reads them as headings and emphasis, and the answer comes back better organised with them left in.
