Automated Almanac Pending Approval Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Almanac, finds documents that have been waiting on approval for more than 2 days, posts the full pending list to the team's Slack channel, and reminds each approver directly on Telegram so a document doesn't stall in review just because it slipped someone's mind.
How do I stop documents from stalling in Almanac approval?
WebRun checks Almanac every morning for documents waiting on approval for more than 2 days, posts the full pending list to your team's Slack channel, and reminds each approver directly on Telegram, so review cycles that would otherwise stall on a forgotten approval keep moving without someone having to chase it down manually.
- Stuck approvals get flagged daily instead of at a weekly check-in
- Approvers get a direct reminder instead of a buried notification
- Review cycles keep moving instead of silently stalling

Questions, answered
Does WebRun approve documents on someone's behalf?
No. It only reads how long a document has waited. Approving, requesting changes, or reassigning is always done by the approver in Almanac.
Who sees the pending approvals list?
Only your internal Slack channel and the approvers themselves on Telegram. It's never shared outside your team.
What if an approval clears right before the check?
It reads live status each morning, so a document already approved is left off that day's list.
