Automated Betterworks Review Cycle Chase

Every morning while a review cycle is open, WebRun signs in to Betterworks, reads the completion status of every self review and manager review, works out who is outstanding and how many days are left before the deadline, saves a dated completion report to Google Drive, and posts the outstanding list by team to your HR group on WhatsApp.

In short

How do I track who has not completed their performance review?

WebRun chases your open review cycle every morning. It reads completion status for every self review and manager review in Betterworks, saves a dated completion report to Google Drive, and posts the outstanding list by team to your HR group on WhatsApp with the days left before the deadline.

  • Completion rate is known every morning, not on deadline day
  • The teams furthest behind get the chase effort
  • A dated report for each day shows whether the curve is moving

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message employees about their own review?

No. The WhatsApp post goes only to your internal HR group. WebRun never messages an employee or a manager directly, so the nudge always comes from a person who can answer questions.

Can it read what a review actually says?

No. WebRun reads completion status, owner and deadline only. Review content, ratings and comments are never captured, copied or posted anywhere.

Does it change anything in Betterworks?

No. WebRun never submits a review, never reopens one and never extends a deadline. It only reports who is outstanding and how long is left.

Put this on autopilot.
