In short

How do I get alerted before a supplier payment is due in Alegra?

WebRun opens Alegra every morning, finds every supplier bill due in the next 3 days, and pulls the matching bill copy from Google Drive so finance has proof on hand. It posts your team a Slack list of what needs approving, so a payment due date never slips past without your team seeing it first.

  • Supplier payments get flagged before the due date, not after
  • Finance approves payments instead of chasing bill details
  • Late fees and strained supplier relationships become far less common

Built for accounts payable teams · small business owners · office managers · Alegra bookkeepers

Questions, answered

Does it pay the supplier automatically?

No. WebRun never initiates a payment. It only surfaces which bills are due so your team can approve and pay them directly in Alegra or your bank.

How far ahead does it look for due dates?

3 days by default, so finance has enough runway to approve without a rush. Tell WebRun a different window and it will use that instead.

What if a bill is missing its supporting document?

It is flagged clearly in the Slack list instead of silently skipped, so your team knows to track down the paperwork before approving payment.

Put this on autopilot.
