Multi-Source Aggregation: Pulls data from Facebook Ads, Google Ads, Shopify, Stripe, and Clockify.
Smart Cost Allocation: Automatically calculates overhead (default 30%) and software costs against your gross revenue.
AI Analysis: Uses Google Gemini to review the calculated metrics and draft a "Human-readable" executive summary for Slack.

Open the "Code in JavaScript" node. At the very top, you will see a CONFIG object. Edit these values to match your agency's model:
const CONFIG = {
platformFeeRate: 0.029, // Stripe/Shopify fees
monthlySoftwareCosts: 500, // Fixed monthly SaaS costs
overheadRate: 0.30, // Overhead % (rent, admin, etc)
minProfitMargin: 20 // Target margin %
};
The template includes "Set" nodes with mock data for testing purposes. Simply bypass these nodes and connect the API nodes directly to the "Merge" node when you are ready to go live.
