Automated AliExpress Overdue Order Chasing

Every morning, WebRun opens your AliExpress order queue, finds every order that's still unshipped past its expected ship date, saves the full list to a Google Drive tracking sheet, and posts a Slack summary so your fulfillment team knows exactly which suppliers to chase first.

In short

How do I chase AliExpress orders that are running behind schedule?

WebRun checks your AliExpress order queue every morning for anything still unshipped past its expected ship date, logs the full list to a Google Drive tracking sheet, and posts a ranked Slack summary so your fulfillment team knows which suppliers to chase first. Orders drop off the list automatically the moment they ship.

  • Overdue orders surface the same morning they slip, not when a customer complains
  • Fulfillment works from one ranked list instead of scanning the order queue
  • Orders that ship overnight disappear from the list automatically

Questions, answered

Will it message the AliExpress supplier for me?

No. WebRun only builds the chase list. Messaging the supplier is still your fulfillment team's call, made from the Slack list.

How does it know an order is overdue?

It compares the order's current status against the expected ship date AliExpress originally showed, so an order only appears once it's genuinely running late.

What happens once a delayed order finally ships?

It's removed from the tracking sheet and the chase list on the next run, so your team is never chasing an order that already moved.

Put this on autopilot.
