Automated Amazon Business Approval Chasing
Every hour, WebRun opens Amazon Business, reads the approval queue, works out how long each request has waited and which approver holds it, sends the procurement group a WhatsApp summary of what is stuck, and drafts a polite Gmail nudge to any approver over your waiting threshold for you to send.

How do I stop purchase approvals from getting stuck?
WebRun checks your Amazon Business approval queue every hour, reads which requests are pending, how long each has waited and which approver holds it. It sends the procurement group a WhatsApp summary and drafts a Gmail nudge for each slow approver, which you approve before anything is sent.
- Buyers stop waiting on a manager who forgot
- Every pending request shows its approver and hours waiting
- Nudges are written for you and never send without approval
Built for procurement teams · office managers · finance admins · operations leads · multi-site businesses

Questions, answered
Will it approve or place an order?
No. WebRun only reads the approval queue and reports on it. It never approves a request, places an order or spends money, and buying stays a human decision.
Does it email approvers by itself?
No. Each nudge is left as an unsent Gmail draft for you to read and send. Only the internal WhatsApp summary posts on its own.
Will approvers get chased every hour?
No. It only drafts for requests past the waiting threshold you set, and it skips anyone already nudged that day, so nobody gets the same email twice.
