FieldX Automated Soil Sample Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens FieldX, reviews grid and zone soil samples across your fields, notes which are collected, submitted to the lab, or still outstanding, updates a running tracker in Google Sheets, and posts a short status digest to Slack so nothing stalls between the field and the lab.
How do I track soil samples from field to lab?
Every morning, WebRun opens FieldX and reviews grid and zone soil sampling across your fields, noting which samples are collected, submitted to the lab, or still outstanding. It updates a running tracker in Google Sheets and posts a status digest to Slack, so your team sees at a glance what is stalled between the field and the lab.
- No batch of samples sits uncollected past your target window
- One tracker shows collected, submitted, and outstanding by field
- The team opens Slack to a fresh sampling status each morning

Questions, answered
Does it message growers or the lab directly?
No. WebRun only updates your Google Sheets tracker and posts an internal Slack digest for your team. It never contacts a grower or a soil lab on its own.
How does it know a sample is still outstanding?
It reads the live sampling status in FieldX each morning, comparing collected and submitted flags against your target window, and marks any field that has slipped past it.
Can it track both grid and zone sampling?
Yes. WebRun reviews both grid and management-zone sampling jobs in FieldX and tracks each field's status the same way, so nothing falls through regardless of method.
