Function Point Automated Approval Escalation Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Function Point, finds any internal approval, estimate, or change order stuck past its deadline, checks Google Calendar to see if the approver is out of office, and posts their manager a Slack escalation naming what is stuck and for how long.
How do I stop internal approvals from stalling agency projects?
WebRun checks Function Point every morning for internal approvals, estimates, and change orders stuck past their deadline, checks Google Calendar to see if the approver is away, and posts each item's manager a Slack escalation with the days overdue. It only escalates inside the agency, never to a client, so stuck internal work gets unblocked quickly.
- Stuck approvals reach a manager the same day, not weeks later
- Approvers on leave are never unfairly flagged without context
- Escalations stay internal and never reach a client

Questions, answered
Does it escalate to clients when they are slow to approve?
No. This workflow only escalates internal approvals, estimates, and change orders to a manager inside your agency. It never contacts a client.
What if the approver was on leave the whole time?
It checks Google Calendar first and notes it in the escalation, so the manager sees the delay had a legitimate reason before reassigning anything.
Does it reassign the approval automatically?
No. WebRun only alerts the manager in Slack. Reassigning the approval to someone else is a decision the manager makes.
