Automated Barclays Cash Position Reports
Every morning, WebRun signs in to Barclays, reads the cleared and available balance on each business account, lists the standing orders and direct debits due in the next few days, posts a short cash position to your Microsoft Teams finance channel, and warns on Telegram when a scheduled payment would take an account below your floor.

Questions, answered
Can it move money or make a payment?
No. WebRun reads balances and scheduled payments in Barclays and nothing more. It never sends a payment, sets up a payee, cancels a direct debit, or transfers between accounts. Every movement of money stays with you.
Where do the balances end up?
Only in the private Microsoft Teams channel and the private Telegram channel you choose at setup. Nothing is posted anywhere public and nothing is stored outside the accounts you connect.
What sets off the shortfall warning?
A projected balance falling below the floor you set for that account once scheduled standing orders and direct debits are taken into account, so you get notice before the payment leaves.
