Automated Board Planning Cycle Report
Every Monday, WebRun opens Board, reads the current forecast versus actual numbers across your tracked planning models, logs them to an Airtable tracker, and writes a short scorecard into Notion so finance sees variance without opening Board.
How do I get a weekly Board forecast versus actual scorecard?
WebRun reads your Board forecast versus actual numbers every Monday, logs them to an Airtable tracker, and writes a short variance scorecard in Notion. Finance and FP&A teams see which planning lines are moving most before the weekly review, without opening Board or building the comparison by hand.
- Variance is visible before the weekly review starts
- The biggest moving planning lines are called out, not buried
- A full variance history builds up in Airtable automatically

Questions, answered
Does WebRun change any forecast or actual number?
No. It only reads the numbers Board already calculates. Adjusting a forecast or an actual stays a finance task.
Where does the variance history live?
In the Airtable tracker. Every week adds a row, so variance trends are visible over a full planning cycle.
What if a line is missing actuals this week?
It's still reported, flagged as pending, so a gap is visible in the scorecard rather than silently skipped.
