Automated Assembla Overdue Ticket Chase List

Every Monday, WebRun opens Assembla, reviews open tickets across your spaces, finds any untouched for more than two weeks, saves a report to Google Drive, and posts a Slack chase list so old tickets get a decision instead of sitting open indefinitely.

In short

How do I find Assembla tickets that nobody has touched in weeks?

WebRun reviews open Assembla tickets every Monday, finds any untouched for 14 days or more, and saves a dated report to Google Drive. It then posts a Slack chase list grouped by assignee, so tickets that have gone quiet get a decision, a close, or a reassignment instead of sitting open indefinitely.

  • Old tickets get a weekly nudge instead of quietly aging for months
  • Each assignee sees exactly which of their tickets have gone quiet
  • A dated history in Drive shows whether the backlog is improving

Questions, answered

Will WebRun close or reassign tickets itself?

No. It only builds the chase list. Closing, reassigning, or updating any ticket stays a decision for the assignee.

What counts as untouched?

No comment, status change, or update in the last 14 days. That window can be adjusted to match how your team works.

Does it only cover one project?

No. It checks every space you give it access to, so the chase list can span multiple projects in one weekly post.
