In short

How can I get a weekly staff capacity report automatically?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Karbon, tallies each staff member's open work items and assigned hours against their availability, and works out a load percentage. It logs the capacity picture to a Google Sheet and posts the team a Slack report flagging who is overloaded and who has room, so managers balance the week before it fills up.

  • Overloaded and under-used staff surface every Monday, not after burnout
  • Managers reassign work from a clear load percentage, not a guess
  • The week is balanced before it fills up, not after deadlines slip

Questions, answered

Does it reassign work in Karbon?

No. WebRun only reads open work and assigned hours to build the report. It writes to a Google Sheet and posts a Slack summary, so managers decide every reassignment and nothing in Karbon is changed automatically.

How does it measure capacity?

It compares the hours assigned to each staff member in Karbon against their available hours for the week, then shows a load percentage so over- and under-capacity people are obvious at a glance.

Can each manager see their own team?

Yes. WebRun groups the report by staff member, and you can scope it to a team or role, so each manager sees the people they plan for without scrolling the whole firm.

Put this on autopilot.
