Automated Alibaba Late Shipment Alerts

Every morning, WebRun signs into Alibaba, opens your orders, compares each one against its promised ship date, lists the orders that are late or have not moved status in days, posts the exception list to your Microsoft Teams supply channel, and sends a Telegram alert when a late order is worth more than your threshold.

In short

How do I track which Alibaba orders are shipping late?

WebRun watches your Alibaba orders every morning. It reads each open order's status and promised ship date, lists the ones running late or stuck without a status change for a week, posts the exceptions to Microsoft Teams ordered by days late, and pings Telegram for high-value delays.

  • Late shipments surface the morning they slip, not weeks later
  • High-value delays reach you by Telegram the same day
  • Repeat offender suppliers are visible from the grouped list

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message my suppliers?

No. WebRun posts internally to Microsoft Teams and Telegram only. It never sends a supplier message, opens a dispute, or replies in Alibaba chat, so every supplier conversation is started by a person on your team.

Can it place or pay for orders?

No. WebRun reads order status and never buys anything. It cannot place an order, confirm receipt, release a payment, or change order terms, so no money moves as part of the run.

How does it decide an order is late?

It compares the promised ship date on the order against today, and separately flags orders whose status has not changed in seven days, which catches stalled orders even before the date passes.

Put this on autopilot.
