Function Point Automated Timesheet Reminders
Every morning, WebRun opens Function Point, checks the team's calendar in Google Calendar to skip anyone out of office, finds who has not logged time for the previous work day, and posts each person a friendly Slack reminder before the weekly timesheet deadline.
How do I get staff to submit timesheets on time without chasing them manually?
WebRun checks Function Point every morning for staff who have not logged time for the previous work day, checks Google Calendar to skip anyone on leave, and sends each remaining person a friendly Slack reminder. It also posts your resourcing lead a summary, so missing timesheets get caught daily instead of piling up before the deadline.
- Missing timesheets get a reminder the same day, not at deadline
- Staff on leave are never chased for time they could not log
- Resourcing leads see one summary instead of hunting through Function Point

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it log or submit time for someone?
No. WebRun only reminds people to log their own time in Function Point. It never enters, edits, or submits a timesheet on anyone's behalf.
Does it remind people who are on vacation?
No. It checks Google Calendar first and skips anyone marked out of office, so nobody gets chased for time they were never at work to log.
Who sees the reminder?
Only the staff member gets the direct Slack nudge. The resourcing lead separately sees a summary list, not each individual's private reminder.
