Automated Bynder Approval Bottleneck Alerts
Every morning, WebRun opens Bynder, checks every asset sitting in an approval workflow, flags any stuck in the same step for more than three days, logs the stuck assets in Google Sheets, and drafts a Gmail nudge to the approver named on the workflow, leaving the email unsent for the brand team to review before it goes out.
How do I catch assets stuck in Bynder approval before they stall a launch?
WebRun checks Bynder every morning for assets stuck in an approval step for more than three days, logs each one in Google Sheets, and drafts a Gmail nudge to the named approver. Nothing sends automatically, so brand assets stop stalling in approval without anyone having to chase them down by memory.
- Stuck approvals get caught within a day of the three day mark
- Approvers get a specific, ready to send nudge instead of a vague reminder
- Launch timelines stop slipping because of an unnoticed approval bottleneck

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Does it approve or reject the asset itself?
No. WebRun only flags how long an asset has waited and drafts a reminder. Approving or rejecting stays a manual decision inside Bynder.
Will it send the nudge email automatically?
No. Every nudge is drafted in Gmail and left unsent, so the brand team reviews the wording before an approver actually receives it.
What counts as stuck?
Any asset sitting in the same approval step for more than three days. You can treat that window as a starting point and adjust it as your process settles.
