Automated Accelo Project Budget Burn Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Accelo, compares logged time and cost against each project budget, works out which projects are burning faster than the milestones are closing, drafts a Gmail note to the account lead, and pings you in Telegram with the projects at risk.
How do I catch a project going over budget before it is too late?
WebRun watches project profitability every morning. It opens Accelo, compares logged time and cost against each project budget, flags the projects burning faster than the work is closing, drafts a Gmail heads-up for the account lead, and pings you in Telegram while scope can still change.
- Overruns surface while scope can still be changed
- Each at-risk project arrives with a drafted note ready to send
- Budget spent is always shown next to work completed

Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it email the client about an overrun?
No. WebRun drafts an internal note to the account lead in Gmail and leaves it unsent. Nothing reaches a client until a person reads the numbers and hits send.
How does it decide a project is at risk?
It compares the share of budget spent against the share of milestones completed in Accelo, and flags any project where spend is clearly running ahead of delivery.
Does it change budgets or timesheets in Accelo?
No. WebRun reads Accelo only. Raising a variation, adjusting a budget, or editing logged time stays a human decision on your side.
