Automated ApproveMe Approval Chain Tracking
Every morning, WebRun opens ApproveMe, checks each document with more than one signer, works out exactly which approver in the sequence hasn't acted yet, posts a Slack alert naming that person and how long the document has waited, and files any document that reached full approval into Google Drive.
How do I find out who is holding up an ApproveMe approval chain?
WebRun checks your multi-signer ApproveMe documents every morning, works out exactly which approver in the sequence hasn't acted, and posts a Slack alert naming that person and how long the document has waited. Fully approved documents are filed into Google Drive automatically, so approval bottlenecks get named and fixed instead of sitting unexplained.
- The exact holdup approver is named, not just the stalled document
- The longest-stalled approvals are surfaced first every morning
- Fully approved documents are filed without manual downloading

Questions, answered
Does WebRun nudge the holdup approver directly?
No. It only names them in an internal Slack alert. Reaching out to that approver is a step your team takes themselves.
How does it know which approver is actually holding things up?
It reads the approval sequence ApproveMe already enforces and checks who has acted and who hasn't, so the alert names the real bottleneck, not just the document owner.
What happens after every approver signs off?
The document is filed automatically into Google Drive and drops off the stalled list, no further alert is sent for it.
