Function Point Automated Brief Approval Reminders

Every morning, WebRun opens Function Point, finds creative briefs still waiting on client approval, drafts a friendly nudge email for any stalled more than two days, and posts your account team a Slack list of what is approved, pending, or stuck.

In short

How do I get creative briefs approved by clients faster?

WebRun checks Function Point every morning for creative briefs still waiting on client approval, drafts a friendly nudge for anything stalled more than two days, and leaves it in Gmail for your account owner to send. It also posts your team a Slack status list, so stalled approvals get a timely, human follow up instead of slipping the schedule.

  • Stalled briefs get a human nudge within two days, not weeks
  • Account teams see every brief's approval status in one Slack list each morning
  • No client email goes out without a person reviewing it first

Questions, answered

Will it email clients without me approving first?

No. WebRun only drafts the nudge email in Gmail and leaves it unsent. A person on your account team reviews and sends every draft.

How does it decide a brief is stalled?

It reads the days since the brief was sent for approval in Function Point and flags anything over two business days, so nothing quietly sits for weeks.

What happens once a client approves?

It reads the live approval status in Function Point each morning, so anything approved drops off the chase list automatically.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
