In short

How do I find missing time entries before invoicing the week?

Every Monday, WebRun opens Awork, compares the time entries each person booked last week against their planned hours, and takes absences out of the maths. It WhatsApps the agency lead a per person gap list and drafts the reminder emails in Gmail, so invoices go out complete.

  • Invoices go out complete instead of being corrected later
  • Absences are removed before anyone is chased for a gap
  • Each person gets a draft naming only their own missing days

Built for agency leads · project managers · consultancies · studios billing by the hour

    WebRun in Gmail: draft the reminder emails
    WebRun opens Gmail to draft the reminder emails.
    • Draft one short email in Gmail per person with a gap
    • List only that person's missing days and hours, and the projects they were likely on
    • Keep the tone light: this is a reminder to complete a timesheet, not a performance note
    • Leave every message as an unsent draft for you to review. WebRun never emails the team on its own

Questions, answered

Will it email the team without me?

No. Each reminder sits as an unsent Gmail draft until you read it and send it. Only the internal WhatsApp summary to the lead posts on its own, so nobody gets an automated timesheet email.

Does it count holidays and sick days as gaps?

No. Absences booked in Awork are subtracted from the expected hours before the gap is worked out, so time off never shows up as a missing timesheet.

Will it create time entries or send invoices?

No. WebRun only reads time entries and reports the gaps. Logging hours and raising invoices stay with people, so nothing is billed on the strength of an automated guess.

Put this on autopilot.
